Mastering the Fold
Kreplach, the meat-filled dumplings served on Sukkot, can be finicky. When making them, keep these tips in mind: To prevent the kreplach from opening while being boiled, pinch the seams of the dough together tightly and refrigerate the dumplings on a well-floured plate-firmer dough is less likely to tear. Roll the dough as thin as possible to reduce cooking time and ensure a delicate dumpling. To fold the kreplach into the traditional triangle shape, we suggest the method below.
On a floured surface, roll dough to a ⅛-inch thickness. Using a 3-inch round pastry cutter, cut dough into circles. Place 1 tbsp. filling in the center of each round. Moisten edges with water.

Press tightly to seal. You should now have a tight, triangular dumpling.
