3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Magical Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties

Preparation of Pumpkin Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed pumpkin, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a pinch of salt. Stir until smooth and well mixed. Chill the mixture for 10-15 minutes to help it set for easier filling handling.

Rolling Out and Cutting the Puff Pastry

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Using a sharp knife or pastry cutter, cut into 4-6 inch circles. These will be the wrappers for your pumpkin pasties.

Assembling the Pumpkin Pasties

Place a tablespoon of the pumpkin filling in the center of each pastry circle. Fold the pastry over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork or pinching the dough to ensure the filling stays inside during baking.

Baking the Pasties

Brush the tops of each pasty with the beaten egg for a golden finish. Arrange the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are puffed and golden brown.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Pumpkin Pasties

To reheat, enjoy warm in the oven or microwave for a quick, comforting treat. For longer storage, you can freeze the baked pasties and reheat them in your Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast for a crisp finish.
