Pumpkin Pasties
1 box frozen puff pastry
1 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 egg, beaten, to use for an egg wash on pastry dough
Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry dough for about 30 minutes,
until flexible but still cold.
Combine pumpkin, sugar and spices in a bowl. Set aside while
preparing dough.
Place oven rack in center of oven and heat to 375 degrees F.
Roll out dough until thin, about 1/16 inch, and cut into four large
circles. Using your fingertips or a pastry brush, brush around edges of each
circle with beaten egg.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons pumpkin mixture onto centers of
circles. Fold circles in half to cover mixture and seal the edges by crimping
with a fork (dip fork in cold water each time to keep from sticking.) Brush
tops of pasties with remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with a little granulated
sugar.
Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes in the
center of oven until golden.
May be eaten warm or cold.
