Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 1 cup Canned pumpkin puree
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour with the cold, cubed butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, mix together the canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 4-5 inch round cutter to cut out circles of dough.

Step 6

Place about 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough in half over the filling to form a crescent shape, and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with the milk to make an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the top of each pasty.

Step 8

Cut a small slit or poke a few holes on the top of each pasty to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9

Place the pasties on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your warm and delicious pumpkin pasties!
