  2. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each circle.
  3. Gather the edges and pinch to seal, forming a pleated pouch.

Notes

Knead longer for smoother dough, chill the filling for easier handling, and dust with cornstarch to prevent sticking. Experiment with different fillings for variety.
