3. Brush the dough with oil and set aside for 15 minutes.
4. Roll out the dough as for pie crust and cut with a round cookie cutter.
5. Place the round on the palm of your hand.
6. Put a spoonful of filling on it; fold over to make a half circle.
7. Press the edges together with your fingers, ensuring the edges are free of filling.
