I remember seeing a recipe which recommended using those biscuits that come
in a tube. You press the dough out with your fingers, put in the filling,
and then pinch it closed. The seam goes on the bottom when steaming. I never
tried it myself.

I've always liked working with dough. I probably would have enjoyed working
for it had the opportunity ever arisen.
