Get the chilled dough and dust some flour onto the working surface and roll the dough half inch thick.

Take a piece of dough and flatten with a rolling pin as thin as possible and try to make it round. Scoop a spoonful of the filling and place it in the middle. Gather the sides of the dough over the filling and pinch together to close. Take a round cookie cutter and insert the filled dough inside the circle, then with pinched side down press it against the counter to take form.

Cook the hopia in a pan until both sides are brown. Chill for 3 mins before serving
