How to Make Pumpkin Turnovers German Plachinda

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice), and salt. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and melted butter.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the pumpkin mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crust to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 4-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out circles.
  6. Place a spoonful of the pumpkin filling in the center of each circle.
  7. Fold the circles in half to form half-moons, crimping the edges to seal.
  8. Place the turnovers onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Brush the tops of the turnovers with the remaining egg wash (if any).
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown and the filling is set.
  11. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a dusting of powdered sugar (optional).
