  3. Grease the work surface, spread the dough to a thickness of about ½ cm, and cut out circles. ≈ 8 min
  4. Repeat with the remaining dough. ≈ 3 min
  5. Spoon a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle. ≈ 3 min
  6. Fold up the three edges to form a triangle, leaving a small opening in the middle. ≈ 3 min
