  • There are several ways to work the dough, I'll show you my method.
  • Take the dough and cut it into 4 equal parts.
  • Form a ball, and roll it out on a floured surface with the help of a rolling pin, making a sheet about 2 mm thick.
  • Help yourself with a round shape or with a glass to cut small disks.

  • With the rolling pin, thin only the edges of the disc of dough while you rotate it with the other hand. This way it will be thicker in the center, where the filling is placed, and thinner at the edges, which will be attached during the closing.
  • At this point you can form the dumplings. Add about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of your discs.
  • Close them with your finger, fold half of the wrapper over the filling and, using your fingers, crimp the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining fillings and wrappers.
