- Reserve 1 tablespoon of the cooking liquid.
- Meanwhile, add the butter and lemon juice to a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Cook the mixture, stirring frequently, until the butter is just melted.

- Drain the pierogies and add them to the pan.
- Gently toss them until they are coated with the sauce.
