Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
  2. Add cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to incorporate until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually mix in cold water until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  4. In a bowl, mix together pumpkin purée, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves until well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
