My grandmother was Ukrainian and this was the traditional recipe that the whole
family used. There are variations that are just as good.

The traditional way of cooking is to boil them a few at a time until they float.
Fry up the bacon and onion and pour this over the cooked Pyrohy.
Serve with Sour cream or syrup.
