wrappers if possible. If not, cut square wrappers into circles. Place about 1
tsp. filing mixture in the middle of the wrapper. Moisten entire edge of wrapper
with water and fold over. Be sure to pinch edges firmly to make them stick
together. Then moisten one end with water and bring around to connect to the
other end, pinch to seal. Do this around your finger to ensure an opening in the
