Then we sprinkle the table with flour, take one ball and flatten it with our hands into a patty. Place the filling in the center of the patty, bring together the edges of the dough and shape a small pie. Repeat the same with the remaining dough. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, place the pies seam-side down on it and let them rest for another 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat the egg with cream and brush the risen pies with this mixture.
