Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter cold and cubed, unsalted
- 1/4 cup water cold
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon cloves ground
- 1 egg beaten for egg wash
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
- Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually mix in cold water until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
- Roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out rounds using a 4-inch cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of pumpkin filling in the center of each round. Brush edges with egg wash, fold over, and seal by pressing with a fork.
- Place empanadas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
