- Cream together first two ingredients.
- Add eggs and orange juice.
- Slowly add flour and other dry ingredients.
- Mix well. (Can be done in food processor).
- Chill dough at least 24 hours prior to rolling.
- Roll out dough on floured surface to 1/8-in. thickness. More flour may have to be added to the dough to make it into a more workable consistency.
- Cut into 3 or 3 1/2-inch circles (use an empty, well-washed tuna can).
- Place 1 tablespoon filling in middle of each circle. Moisten edges of circle before forming triangle.
- Bring edges together to form a triangle, pinching seams together. The water will help to seal seams.
