Whether you're untangling a hard decision, journaling at midnight, or just need to be heard, your companion keeps the thread so you never have to start over.

Babcia's recipe

Dusza means soul — and nothing holds memory like a grandmother's kitchen. This is Babcia's pierogi, written down exactly the way she made it, so it's never forgotten.

A plate of homemade Polish pierogi topped with caramelized onions and fresh dill

Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 large egg
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp sour cream
  • 5 large potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 cup farmer's cheese (twaróg)
  • 2 large onions, finely diced
  • 4 tbsp butter

Makes about 40 pierogi — enough for a full table.

  1. 1

    Make the dough

    Mound the flour on the counter, make a well, and crack in the egg. Add salt, sour cream, and warm water a little at a time. Knead for ten minutes until soft and springy. Rest it under a warm bowl for thirty minutes — Babcia says the dough needs to nap too.

  2. 2

    The filling

    Boil the potatoes until a fork slides through. Mash while hot with the farmer's cheese. Fry half the onions in butter until golden and fold them in. Season with plenty of salt and pepper. Taste it. Then taste it again.

  3. 3

    Fill and fold

    Roll the dough thin, cut circles with a glass. Spoon filling into each, fold, and press the edges with your fingertips — never a fork. The seal should hold a secret.

  4. 4

    Boil and finish

    Drop into salted boiling water. When they float, wait one more minute, then lift them out. Finish in the pan with the rest of the butter and onions until the edges catch gold. Serve with more sour cream than seems reasonable.

More from Babcia's kitchen

Every dish is a memory worth keeping. Here's the rest of the table.

  • Bigos

    Hunter's stew with cabbage, meat, and wild mushrooms — better on the second day.

    “This is the one that fills the whole house with smell, moja droga. Make it the day before — it only gets better.”

    Brown a pound of pork and a pound of kielbasa. Add a chopped cabbage and a jar of sauerkraut, drained. Pour in a cup of stock, add dried mushrooms, bay leaves, and allspice. Simmer two hours, stirring now and then. Serve with rye bread.

  • Żurek

    Sour rye soup with sausage and a halved egg, served in a bread bowl.

    “You have to start this one two days early. Babcia always said the sour is the whole point — don't rush it.”

    Soak a cup of rye flour in warm water with garlic and a bay leaf for two days until sour. Strain it, then simmer with sausage, a boiled egg, and a bit of cream. Thicken with the sour rye starter. Serve with bread.

  • Gołąbki

    Cabbage rolls stuffed with rice and meat, blanketed in tomato.

    “Little parcels, little pigeons — that's what the name means. Tuck them in seam-side down so they don't unravel.”

    Blanch cabbage leaves in boiling water. Mix cooked rice with ground beef and pork, season with salt and pepper. Wrap the filling in leaves, seam-side down. Simmer in tomato sauce for an hour.

  • Placki ziemniaczane

    Crispy potato pancakes, edges lacy and golden.

    “Squeeze the potatoes dry — I mean really dry. That's the secret to the lacy crisp edges you're after.”

    Grate four potatoes, squeeze out the liquid, mix with one egg, two tablespoons flour, salt. Fry spoonfuls in hot oil, three minutes a side, until crisp. Top with sour cream.

  • Barszcz

    Clear beetroot soup, deep red, often floating with tiny uszka dumplings.

    “The color alone will stop you. A splash of vinegar keeps it that deep, honest red.”

    Simmer beets with onion, garlic, and a splash of vinegar for an hour. Strain, season with salt, pepper, and a little sugar. Serve hot with uszka — tiny mushroom dumplings — or just bread.

  • Kotlet schabowy

    Breaded pork cutlet — the Polish schnitzel, pounded thin.

    “Pound it thin and don't be shy with the butter. This is Sunday dinner in one plate.”

    Pound pork chops thin, season, dip in flour, egg, then breadcrumbs. Fry in butter and oil, four minutes a side. Serve with potatoes and cabbage.

  • Naleśniki

    Thin crepes rolled sweet with cheese or savory with mushrooms.

    “Let the batter rest — that's when it settles into something silky. Sweet or savory, you can't go wrong.”

    Whisk two eggs, a cup of milk, a cup of flour, a pinch of salt into a smooth batter. Rest thirty minutes. Cook thin crepes in a buttered pan, thirty seconds a side. Fill with sweet cheese or savory mushrooms, fold or roll.

  • Rosół

    Classic chicken soup with noodles — the cure for everything.

    “When you're sad, when you're sick, when you just need home — this is the one. Skim the foam and take your time.”

    Simmer a whole chicken with carrots, celery, onion, parsley root, and bay leaves for two hours. Skim the foam. Strain, season, add noodles. Serve with the vegetables on the side.

  • Sernik

    Baked cheesecake made with twaróg, dense and quietly sweet.

    “Patience at the end, kochanie — let it cool completely before you slice, or it won't hold its heart together.”

    Beat a pound of cream cheese with three eggs, half a cup sugar, a splash of vanilla. Pour into a crust of crushed cookies and butter. Bake at three-fifty for forty minutes, then cool completely before slicing.

A note from me

I love my grandparents so much that I wanted the whole world to know them — so I made this page. If you're lucky enough to still know yours, don't keep them to yourself. Write to the founders with a story or a recipe from your babcia or dziadek, and we'll help keep it from ever being forgotten.

The story of Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day is a special holiday that celebrates the bond between generations. Although these days are widely known and celebrated in Poland, few know their history and origins. How did these holidays come about, and why have they gained such popularity? Here is a story about their beginnings and some interesting facts related to these celebrations.

The origin of Grandma's Day

The idea of celebrating Grandmother's Day in Poland emerged in the 1960s. The first time this day was celebrated was on January 21, 1964. The inspiration came from a publication in the magazine Woman and Life, which promoted the idea of honoring grandmothers for their role in the family. Subsequently, the initiative was taken up by other media as well as local communities, which contributed to the spread of the tradition throughout the country.

An interesting fact is that January 21 was not chosen randomly. It is a date that falls in the middle of winter, which symbolically refers to the maturity and warmth that grandmothers bring to the lives of their families.

Grandfather's Day uprising

Grandfather's Day is the younger equivalent of Grandmother's Day. This holiday began to be celebrated in Poland a few years later, at the end of the 1970s. Initially, its popularity was much lower, but over time it gained recognition and became a permanent part of the calendar. We celebrate Grandfather's Day on January 22, the day after Grandmother's Day.

Interesting facts about Grandparents' Day

  • International character: Although in Poland Grandparents' Day is celebrated in January, in other countries these holidays fall on different days. In the United States, it is a movable feast, held on the first Sunday after Labor Day in September.
  • A song for grandma: One of the most famous songs associated with this day is “Dear Grandma, may you live a hundred years.” It has become a symbol of the love of grandchildren for their grandmothers.
  • The role of kindergartens and schools: Educational institutions celebrate these holidays most exuberantly. Children prepare performances, greeting cards, and small gifts, which strengthens family bonds and teaches respect for the elderly.
  • Flower tradition: Flowers are one of the most popular gifts given to grandmothers on this day. The most commonly chosen are carnations, tulips, and roses.

Why is it worth celebrating these days?

Grandparents' Day is not only an opportunity to give gifts, but above all a chance to express gratitude and love towards the oldest members of the family. It is also a perfect moment to build memories that will remain in the hearts of grandchildren for a lifetime.

Let's remember that gestures of affection and small gifts are important, but the most precious gift for grandma and grandpa is the time spent together. Shared conversations, laughter, and memories are the best way to celebrate these special days.
