  5. Pick something circular and place it on the dough to trace around. I use one of my kid sized plates. It’s maybe 7-8” across. Now you’re ready to fill the crust circle with filling.
  6. Place meet filling in a crescent shape inside the crust circle. Careful not to get it around the edges or the oils will make it hard for edges to seal.
