Equipment

  • 1 Food Processor If making my pie dough
  • 1 Large Bowl
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Baking Mat or parchment paper
  • 1 Pastry Brush
  • 1 Bowl For eggwash

Ingredients

This is what you will need for your pumpkin pasties: For your pie dough

  • 1 ½ cup gluten free flour Cup4Cup is what I use
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • 8 tablespoons butter unsalted
  • 1 Egg

Filling:

  • ¾ Cup Pumpkin Puree
  • 1 tablespoon Ras El Hanout
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ Brown Sugar Light
  • 1 Egg for egg wash
  • ½ Cup Turbinado Sugar For topping - optional

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Meanwhile make the filling: in a large bowl and mix together the pumpkin puree, ras el hanout, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Mix together.
  • Putting them together: Place 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin filling onto each of the dough circles. Close the pumpkin pasties and crimp the edges. You can use a fork to crimp the edges or press the edges with your hands.
  • Brush with egg wash: Using a pastry brush, brush the pasties with an egg wash and then top with sugar. Place into the oven. Baking time is for 30 minutes.
  • When they are a golden brown color: and finished baking, remove them from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool down. Once they have cooled a bit, dig in.
