Lift the flour from the bottom up to the center, knead a firm, not very sticky dough. Cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel. Leave it for 30 minutes at room temperature.

On a floured work surface, roll out the dough thinly (0.5–0.7 cm). Cut out circles with a cutter. Place filling on each circle.
8
Place a circle of dough with filling on your palm and carefully pinch the edges. Join the ends of the crescent and press them tightly with your fingers to seal. Make the remaining dumplings in the same way.

Place the dumpling preparation on a board or flat plate and send it to the freezer until you want to eat them.
