Cut corners toward center, leaving an area about 1/2 inch for filling. In center place 1/4 tsp filling, fold up every other corner toward center, pinch together well, Bake at 375 for 8-10 min.

Hints: This dough is wonderful, like a pastry almost. Really pinch the centers, even if it looks ugly it will recover when it rises in the oven. I baked these at 350 and kept a close eye on them, a couple minutes in, I checked and poked a couple centers down so they would not come undone. They were a little work but I think they are worth it.
