Ingredients

Scale

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (pre-rolled, thawed)

Pumpkin Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves

For Finishing

  • 1 Egg (beaten, for brushing)
  • Powdered Sugar (optional, for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface until it is approximately 1/8 inch thick, creating a smooth, even base for the filling.
  3. Make Pumpkin Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth, spiced pumpkin filling.
  4. Spread Filling: Evenly spread the pumpkin mixture over the puff pastry sheet, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing.
  5. Fold Pastry: Carefully fold the puff pastry over the filling to cover it, pressing gently along the edges to seal and prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
  6. Cut and Twist: Slice the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips. Take each strip and twist it several times into a spiral shape to create the classic twists.
  7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the twisted pastries on the prepared baking sheet with some space between each to allow for expansion during baking.
  8. Brush with Egg: Using a pastry brush, lightly coat the tops of each twist with the beaten egg to give them a shiny, golden finish after baking.
  9. Bake: Bake the twists in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown all over.
  10. Cool and Serve: Remove the twists from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar for added sweetness before serving.

Notes

  • If you prefer a less sweet filling, reduce the amount of sugar slightly.
  • Ensure the puff pastry is thawed properly but kept cold to prevent tearing.
  • For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of cream cheese to the pumpkin filling.
  • Serve these twists warm for the best texture and flavor.
  • Powdered sugar topping is optional and can be substituted with a light drizzle of maple syrup.
