Pie Dough: The casing for these sweet pumpkin pasties is pie dough (as they are a hand pie). I use my gluten free pastry dough recipe to make them (which is incredibly easy) but you can use whatever pie dough you like. Pumpkin Puree: This is the essence of our pumpkin pasty. I use canned pureed pumpkin. Brown Sugar: This is the only sweetener in this recipe Spices: Cinnamon and Ras el-Hanout give such warming spices and make these pasties sing.
Set Oven to 350°F Make your pie dough: place the gluten free all purpose flour, egg, water, and unsalted butter. Pulse until the butter is the size of peas.. The pie crust will come together when it forms a ball in the food processor. Take two pieces of parchment paper: and place the pie dough between them. Roll it out using a rolling pin. Another method is using a tortilla press. Set the circular pieces of dough aside on the lined baking sheet while you prep your filling.
