“Harry Potter inspired pumpkin pasties are an awesome treat to enjoy whether or not you are on the Hogwarts Express! Tender flakey pockets with sweetly spiced pumpkin filling.”
5. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
