Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Take the pie dough out from the refrigerator to warm up.
- In a large bowl, add softened cream cheese and brown sugar. Beat until smooth. Add pumpkin puree, egg yolks, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, clove, and kosher salt. Beat until well combined.
- Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pie dough to about ⅛ inch in thickness. Cut out about twelve 5 1/4-inch rounds of dough.
- Make the egg wash by whisking together the egg and milk. Brush this mixture onto the edge of half of the dough circles.
Assembly
- Add about two tablespoons of filling in the middle of each dough circle. Fold in half and crimp the edges to seal.
- Place each pasty on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush the tops with the egg wash.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden and they begin to crack slightly on top.
- Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Glazing
- In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, two tablespoons of milk, vanilla, remaining spices, and a pinch of salt. Spoon glaze over cooled pasties and allow to set before serving.
Notes
Serve warm with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
