  3. Roll the dough very thinly and cut out squares about 3 cm wide, then place a small spoonful of filling in the centre of each.
  4. Seal the dumplings by pinching the edges into small triangles or little purses.
  5. Bring the stock to a gentle simmer and poach the dumplings for 10 to 12 minutes, until they rise to the surface.
