Delightful bite-sized pastries filled with spiced pumpkin filling, perfect for fall gatherings and cozy evenings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ginger
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and cinnamon.
  2. Cut In Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the mixture. Use a pastry cutter or fork to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Form the Dough: Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  6. Make the Filling: In another bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until smooth.
  7. Roll the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough. Cut into circles about 4 inches in diameter.
  8. Fill the Pasties: Place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling in the center of each dough circle.
  9. Seal the Pasties: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape, and seal the edges with a fork.
  10. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the pasties with the beaten egg for a nice golden finish.
  11. Bake: Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
  12. Prepare the Glaze: While they cool, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled pasties.
  13. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for flaky pastry. Avoid overmixing the dough.
