Ingredients

Scale

For the Pastry:

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (Use pre-rolled for convenience)

For the Pumpkin Filling:

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (The star of the show)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Sweetens the filling)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Adds moisture and richness)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Infuses warmth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Deepens flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger (Adds brightness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves (Adds warmth)

For Assembly and Finishing:

  • 1 egg (beaten) (Used for brushing)
  • Powdered Sugar (Optional sweet topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet until it reaches about 1/8 inch thickness, creating a smooth and even surface for the filling.
  3. Mix the Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  4. Spread the Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin filling over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to allow sealing of the pastry.
  5. Fold and Seal: Fold the puff pastry over the filling, pressing the edges firmly to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  6. Cut and Twist: Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Twist each strip into spiral shapes to create a decorative and textured appearance.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each twisted pastry on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave enough space between them for even cooking and expansion.
  8. Brush with Egg Wash: Brush the tops of each twist with the beaten egg to promote a beautiful golden-brown finish during baking.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the twists are puffed up and golden brown.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation before serving.

Notes

  • Use thawed puff pastry sheets for easy handling and the best flaky texture.
  • The pumpkin filling can be slightly adjusted in sweetness and spices to taste.
  • These twists are best served fresh and warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • For a dairy-free option, check the puff pastry ingredients or use a vegan puff pastry.
  • Optional: Add a pinch of salt to the pumpkin filling to balance the flavors.
