How to Make Pumpkin Pasties

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position oven rack in the center.
  2. Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry for 30 minutes, until pliable but still cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, gently combine pumpkin puree, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, 1/4 teaspoon cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix well.
  4. Lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the thawed puff pastry to 1/16-inch thickness.
  5. Using a 4-inch cookie cutter or a knife, cut the pastry into four large circles.
  6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the pumpkin mixture into the center of each circle.
  7. Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape, firmly pressing the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork for a decorative finish.
  8. Brush the tops of the pasties with the beaten egg and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar.
  9. Place the pasties on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or cold!
