7) Place a spoonful of stuffing in the centre of each disc.

8) Brush the edges of the disc with water.

9) Lift from one side and drop it half way giving it a half moon shape.

10) Gently tap the edges to seal them.

11) Using a fork, press down the edges to give it a unique design and also further seal the stuffing inside.

13) Remove and cool it completely before serving.
