My grandma always made these, but with the potato ones her recipe calls for a little bit of sauerkraut. Just like the other comment hers were flat. She always made the potato, berry and one other kind. Now I am the one that makes these in my family.

In reply to Carina. You are right that they're not the traditional shape of vareniki, but in my family we made them all look the same! Sacrilege, I know ;) Of course, what really distinguishes vareniki from pelmeni is the filling - and pelmeni are meat.

Those are not "vareniki" but "pelmeni" (at least the shape). Vareniki are flat

From reading this wonderful post, I get the impression that any day when you make these vareniki is a good day. They sound absolutely delightful and comforting and I honestly don't know which one I'd like to try first!
