Let's get started!

  1. Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  2. Use a hand mixer to combine eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Mix in spices, melted butter, and pumpkin and then pour in evaporated milk. Mix well.
  4. Pour into a greased pan and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Roll out pie crust and then use a cookie cutter to create dough circles.
  6. Remove the pumpkin from oven. Allow plenty of time for it to cool and then set the oven to 350ºF.
  7. Scoop pumpkin onto half of each dough circle (PICTURE at 5:18). Fold the pasties in half and then pinch the sides to seal.
  8. Use a fork to press down on the outer edges of each pasty (PICTURE at 5:34) and then cut three lines on the top (PICTURE at 5:41).
  9. Place the pasties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and then bake for 12 minutes.
  10. TaDa! Aparecium! Your pasties are ready to be revealed to friends!
Homemade Pie Dough
  1. Combine flour, sugar, salt and butter in a large bowl and mix with a hand mixer until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
  2. Add just enough of the ice water so the dough holds together when pinched between two fingers. Kneed dough until well combined and then divide it into two discs.
  3. Wrap each disc in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. After chilled, roll out and use as desired.
