Mom'S Perishky (Meat Buns)

• Dough
• 1/2 lb lard
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups flour
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 ounce yeast
• 1/2 cup warm water
• Filling
• 1 lb ground beef, pre-cooked
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 lb bacon, precooked and crumbled
• 1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
• salt and pepper

1. Dissolve yeast in warm water and then mix into remaining ingredients to make dough. It will be sticky, so refrigerate overnight.
2. Mix filling ingredients.
3. Working with small portions of the dough at a time, roll out and cut dough with circular cookie cutter. (A margarine container or soup can work well, too -- just depends how big you want the meat buns).
4. Place meat filling in center of circle and fold dough to form pocket and seal. (perishky or perogie-makers work well for this, too).
5. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes.
