Step #5 When dough begins to form a mass, knead carefully with fingers until the flour is completely absorbed.
Step #6 On a lightly floured board, roll dough out to paper thinness.
Step #7 (I usually divide dough into thirds, & work with one-third at a time.
Step #8 ).
Step #9 Cut out three-and-a-half inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or rim of a glass.
Step #10 (I have dessert/compote glasses which work perfectly.
Step #11 ) Have some flour handy on a plate or piece of waxed paper to keep dipping the rim of the glass in to prevent the dough from sticking to it.
Step #12 ).
Step #13 Place one heaping tsp of filling in the center of each round.
Step #14 Bring up the sides of the circle so that the edges meet to form three spokes from the center.
Step #15 Pinch raised edges firmly together.
Step #16 (If necessary, I pinch the edges with a little water.
Step #17 ).
Step #18 Continue to gather scraps & reroll dough until all is used.
