Step 2
Now roll out the dough to a thickness of about 5 mm. Constantly dust the rolling pin with flour so the dough doesn't stick and rolls out into a smooth layer. Using a round glass, cut out circles of a convenient size for you.

Step 4
Place a heaping teaspoon of filling onto each round of dough. Carefully shape the dumplings, sealing the edges tightly so the filling doesn't leak out during cooking. This amount of ingredients yields about 50 dumplings.
