Another party item from the past. I believe in making old things new again. I have updated the techniques in the recipe to include appliances we have today that we didn't have when we were young and struggling or they just weren't even available yet.

Nice little savory turnover with a flaky crust.

Remove dough from refrigerator and let stand 8-10 minutes. Divide dough into portions. Put dough not working with back in refrigerator until needed.
Roll on a floured surface into a rectangle; fold over in thirds and re-roll into a 9" x 12" rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 2 inch squares and put a small amount of filling in center of each square.
