Ingredients
Scale
- 2 puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 cup (240g) pure pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 egg, beaten
- Granulated sugar for sprinkling
- All-purpose flour for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground ginger until smooth.
- Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets to slightly thinner than their original thickness.
- Spread the pumpkin mixture evenly over one sheet of puff pastry. Place the second sheet on top and press gently to seal.
- Use a knife or pizza cutter to slice the layered pastry into 1-inch (2.5cm) wide strips.
- Hold each strip by the ends and gently twist to create a spiral shape. Place the twists on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the twists lightly with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown.
- Let the twists cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter.
