Description
These Pumpkin Pasties bring the perfect blend of autumn warmth and comfort. Wrapped in a buttery, flaky crust made from einkorn flour, each pasty holds a luscious filling of spiced pumpkin sweetened with both brown and granulated sugar. A dash of vanilla rounds out the filling, delivering a delightful balance of flavors that pairs wonderfully with the golden crust.
Ingredients
For the Crust:
2 1/4 cups einkorn flour (270g)
1 cup cold butter, cubed
1/4 cup cold water
Dash of salt
For the Filling:
1 cup cooked pumpkin or canned pumpkin
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tbsp light brown sugar
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp all-purpose flour
For Topping:
1 large egg
1 tsp water
Sparkling sugar (optional)
For the Glaze (optional):
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
In a food processor, combine einkorn flour and cubed cold butter until mixture resembles pea-sized balls. Add water and salt, and pulse until dough forms.
Divide dough into two portions, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a bowl, mix pumpkin, granulated and brown sugars, pumpkin pie spice, vanilla, and flour until smooth.
Roll out the chilled dough to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into circles using a 5-inch cookie cutter.
Spoon a portion of the pumpkin filling onto each circle, fold to form a half-moon shape, crimp edges, and make small vents on top if desired.
Whisk egg and water together for the egg wash. Brush each pasty with the egg wash and sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if desired.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
For the glaze, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over the warm pasties if desired. Enjoy warm or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
