Harry Potter&#x27;s famous pumpkin pasties sold in the Hogwarts Express. Flaky crust and a delicious spicy-sweet pumpkin filling.

Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties Recipe

Pastry: ((Note 1, 2))

g all-purpose flour (6.2 oz/ 1 ½ cups)

sugar

salt

unsalted butter (5 oz/ ½ cup + 2 tablespoons (Note 3))

water

ready-made pie crust

Filling:

pumpkin

cinnamon

allspice

cardamom

nutmeg

Egg wash:

milk

Cool butter

Cool butter: Cut the butter into small cubes, place them in one layer on a plate, and put them in the freezer for about 15 minutes; they should not be frozen but get really cold.

Mix flour, sugar, and salt in the food processor/stand mixer.

Add butter

Add butter cubes and process shortly, about 10 pulses, but it depends on the machine you are using.  The dough should resemble breadcrumbs.

Make dough

Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of icy water, and pulse a few times again until the dough comes together. Add the third tablespoon of water if necessary; sometimes I do add it, sometimes not; it depends on how exactly you weigh the flour and sometimes on the brand of the flour itself. The dough should hold together when you press a little bit of it between your fingers.

Refrigerate

Refrigerate: Form a ball, divide it into two portions, press each piece into a disc and wrap the discs tightly in plastic foil. You will only need one portion to make about 15 pasties. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.

Alternatively, you can use a ready-made sweet shortcrust pastry.

Pastry:

Pumpkin puree

If you want to make your pumpkin puree, halve and deseed a small pumpkin. Place the halves on a baking tray and bake at 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 35-45 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft. Let cool a little, remove the skin, and puree the pumpkin flesh in the food processor.To make the filling, you will only need about 100 g/ 3.5 oz/ 1/2 cup of it.

Make filling

Mix 100 g/ 3.5 oz/ 1/2 cup pumpkin puree with the spices and set aside.

Preheat

When ready to roll the dough, preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roll dough

Roll dough: Sprinkle the working surface with a bit of flour and roll one of the refrigerated dough discs, about 3 mm / 0.12 inches thick.

Cut dough

Cut dough circles using a pastry cutter or the edge of a glass. My circles had a diameter of 8 cm/ 3.1 inches, and the resulting pasties were small. After rolling the remaining scraps a couple of times as well, I had 15 pasties.

Fill pasties

Fill pasties: Spoon about ½ teaspoon of the filling on one side of the pastry circles, dab the pastry edges with a wet finger and fold the other side over. You will now have the half-moons.

Crimp

Crimp: Press the edges with a fork to crimp and close them.

Cut vents

Cut vents: Using a small sharp knife, cut some tiny slits on top to create vents. I cut the vents in the form of Harry&#39;s scar, but you don&#39;t have to do that; an ordinary X will suffice.

Place the pasties on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

Make the pumpkin pasties:

Egg wash

Egg wash: Mix the egg yolk with the milk. Brush the pasties.

Bake

Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes until nicely golden.

Cool

Let cool on the baking tray for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Bake:

Curious about what pumpkin pasties from the "Harry Potter" series taste like? This is my take on the treat enjoyed by the characters in the books! These pumpkin pasties also happen to be vegan!

Pumpkin Pasties (a Harry Potter Recipe!)

unsweetened dairy-free milk

maple syrup

pumpkin puree

coconut sugar (or brown sugar, see note below)

ginger

puff pastry ((vegan))

Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C).

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.

Add the unsweetened non-dairy milk and the maple syrup to a small bowl and mix to combine. Set aside.

Make vegan egg wash:

Add pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground nutmeg to a bowl and mix until combined. Set aside.

Roll out sheet puff pastry sheet.

Using a round cutter, cut out 4 circles. (You may also cut the dough into 4 even squares, if you prefer rectangle pasties)

Place even amounts of the pumpkin mix on one side of each circle and fold the other side over to cover.

Crimp the edges of each pasty with a fork to seal.

Place each pumpkin pasty on the parchment lined baking sheet.

Using a sharp knife, cut the Harry Potter scar shape into the middle of each pasty.

Brush the tops of each pasty with the vegan egg wash.

Bake for 20 minutes, until golden.

Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack.
