We put all the ingredients of the dough in a bowl and make a pliable dough that doesn't stick to our hands.
We let the dough rest a little and prepare the filling. We put all the filling ingredients in a bowl and mix very well.
We roll out the dough into a sheet with the rolling pin and cut the dough into circular disks with a cutter or a glass.
We slightly around each disk and we put 1 dessertspoon of filling.
We fold each disc to form a crescent and lightly we press the joints with a fork.
