Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the sliced leek and minced garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes, or until the leek is soft. Add the flour and sauté for another minute. Then add the sour cream and simmer until the mixture thickens slightly. Transfer to a bowl and add the Parmesan and crushed caraway. Season with salt and spices and let cool.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 392°F. Place a greased baking sheet in the oven for a while to heat up.

Step 3

Roll out the dough and cut out 64 circles. On half of the circles, place 2 teaspoons of filling, lightly brush the edges with egg, and cover with the remaining circles. Seal the edges with your hands or with a fork. Lightly brush the top with egg and transfer to the heated baking sheet.
