📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cream cheese, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger until smooth and well combined.

3. Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets. Cut each sheet into 8 equal squares for a total of 16 squares.

4. Place a heaping tablespoon of the pumpkin filling onto the center of 8 of the squares. Leave a small border around the edges.

5. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.

6. Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the egg wash and cover each one with another square of puff pastry. Press the edges firmly together with a fork to seal.

7. Transfer the Pumpkin Puffs onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart, and brush the tops with egg wash.

8. Using a sharp knife, cut a small slit in the top of each puff to allow steam to escape during baking.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.

10. Remove from the oven and let the puffs cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust them with powdered sugar before serving.
