Toss lightly and form into a ball. 2 Roll out the dough 1/8-inch thick and cut into 3-inch circles. Use a tablespoon of one of the fillings (the recipes for six fillings are included in this database) for each. Chill. Fold over into a half-moon and press the edges together with a little water. Arrange on a greased baking sheet. 3 Bake in a 400 degree oven 15 minutes or until browned. 4 Makes about 24.
