  8. Pulse in the food processor until a ball is formed, or mix with your hands until incorporated. 
  9. Flour a clean surface and place the dough down. 
  10. Flour a rolling pin and roll out the dough to 1/4-inch thick. 
  11. Using a 4 1/2 inch circle cutter, cut 9 circles out of the dough. You can use a smaller or bigger cutter as well, just make sure to adjust the filling portions appropriately.
