Pumpkin Pasties

1. 1

   Place oven rack in center of oven and heat to 375.

2. 2

   Thaw one sheet of frozen puff pastry dough for about 30 minutes, until flexible but still cold.

3. 3

   Combine pumpkin, sugar and spices in a bowl.

4. 4

   Set aside while preparing dough.

5. 5

   Roll out dough until thin, about 1/16-inch, and cut into four large circles.

6. 6

   Using your fingertips or a pastry brush, brush around edges of each circle with beaten egg.

7. 7

   Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin mixture into centers of circles.

8. 8

   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.
