The very best pierogi/pirohy/pelmeni etc. are cut out not with just any
jelly jar glass, but specifically with a Barb's Beety Beauty one.

Failing that, it is best to use an ordinary thin-rimmed tea glass, like
the one in a glass holder shown he

The diameter is typically ca. 7 cm (2.76 in), producing proper, little,
plump pierogi/pirohy/pelmeni, not the Barb-arous giant, unlady-like,
flat, triangular, uszki.
