3. In a food processor or using an electric mixer, beat the butter, cream cheese, and cream. Add the flour and salt, and beat until combined. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured surface and divide it into 2 portions. Shape each portion into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. On a well-floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a circle about 30 cm in diameter. The dough should be thin but not transparent. Repeat with the second half of the dough. Preheat the oven to 190 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using an inverted cup (about 12 cm in diameter), cut out about 3 circles from each piece of dough. After cutting, gather all dough scraps, roll out the dough again, and cut additional circles. Place 1/4 cup of filling in the center of each circle.

At this stage, the dumplings can be frozen. Place the dumplings on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for several minutes. Prick the tops of the dumplings twice with a fork.
