Prepare filling by combining filling ingredients in a medium saucepan.
Simmer on medium heat for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
In a mixing bowl, stir pancake mix and water until dough forms.
Turn dough onto lightly floured surface and knead dough 15 to 30 seconds, about 10 times.
Roll dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut with a floured 1 1/2-inch biscuit cutter.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling onto each circle. Fold in half, pinching edges to seal.
Cook in a greased skillet until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Makes 12 pierogi.
