Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4–6 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch (to thicken)

For Assembly:

  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, salt, vanilla extract, and cornstarch. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  3. Roll Out Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a round cutter (about 4-5 inches diameter) to cut out circles. Gather scraps, re-roll, and cut out more circles until all dough is used.
  4. Fill Pasties: Place about 2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to overfill to prevent leaking during baking.
  5. Seal and Crimp Edges: Fold each circle in half to form a half-moon shape. Press edges together firmly, then crimp with a fork to seal completely.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Place pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush each with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish once baked.
  7. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pasties for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooking filling is set. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute canned pumpkin puree with fresh cooked and mashed pumpkin.
  • Make sure the filling is not too wet to avoid soggy pastry; the cornstarch helps thicken it.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based butter and substitute egg wash with almond milk or aquafaba.
  • Pasties can be frozen before baking; bake directly from frozen adding a few extra minutes to baking time.
