Yes, we are still going through the Harry Potter posts
today and I think I will continue it for the rest of the week.
I have found some really cool things to make in
regards to Harry Potter and I know there are
a lot of wizards and muggles out there that will appreciate it.
This makes 12 servings.
What you'll need:
2 ready made pie crusts
Filling:
1 cup pumpkin puree
⅓ cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice mix
1 egg
Egg Wash Topping
1 egg yolk
2 Tablespoons milk
¼ cup turbinado sugar
Create:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper
or silicone baking mats.
In a large bowl, whisk the pumpkin puree, brown sugar,
spice mix, and egg until smooth. Set aside.
Roll out the prepared pie crust dough
until it is about ⅛” thick.
Using a biscuit cutter or a small bowl that is between
4” and 5” in diameter, cut circles out of the dough.
You should be able to get about 5 from each
pie crust, then you can re-roll the scraps to get a few more.
Place the pie crust circles on the prepared baking
sheet and place about 1 ½ tablespoons of
filling in the center of each one.
Using your finger, moisten the edges of each circle
with a small amount of water. Don’t drown the pie crust,
just get it slightly damp so it helps to make a seal.
Pick up two opposite edges of the pie crust circle
and bring them together at the top.
Think of how you would hold a taco!
This helps to keep the filling away from the
edges while you seal them. Then gently press the
edges together, starting at the top and working
your way down to the sides.
Lay the half circle back down on the
cookie sheet and use a fork to crimp seal the edges
together the rest of the way.
Repeat with the other hand pies.
Brush the top of each with the egg yolk
wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Using a small sharp knife, cut a small lighting bolt
into the center of each hand pie to let steam out.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the
crust is golden brown.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Enjoy!
