Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 6 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
- 0.33 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a separate bowl, mix together the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Set aside.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 4-5 inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough.
Place about 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half over the filling to form a crescent shape, and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of each pasty.
Cut a small slit or poke a few holes on the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm and delicious pumpkin pasties!
