Dumpling Dough Preparation

Make the Dough

Form the Dumplings
After the dough has rested, divide it into small pieces (about 1 inch each). Roll each piece into a thin circle about 3 inches in diameter. Place a small spoonful (about 1 tablespoon) of filling in the center of each circle. Wet the edges with water, fold the dough over the filling, and pinch to seal.
