Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties


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!

Fall Simmering Potpourri

I love the smell of fall, I even like fall itself.  I just don't like what follows... winter!  However I love walking in my home and smelling  the fall scents that are so warm and inviting. Making this simmering potpourri is extremely easy! What you'll need: Tangerine or orange peels Cloves Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon Vanilla extract Pumpkin pie spice Water Small crockpot, saucepan or tea kettle You can choose how much you want to put in  of what, there really is no magic amount. I normally put  in more of my favorite scents. If using a tea kettle  or a sauce pan keep in mind you will have to keep  adding water to it. If you use a crockpot you  will not have to keep adding water and you can keep  it on even when you're asleep. Some other ideas that you can add are: Apple juice (instead of water) Cranberries Nutmeg Anise (one of my favorites) Dried fruit Coffee beans Have you ever made a simmering potpourri pot?  What do you normal...
