Make these Potter inspired treats for your next event!
Pumpkin Pasties
2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
1 lb. can of pumpkin
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 2/3 cups evaporated milk (1 can)
1/2 tsp. allspice
9 oz pie crust pastry (enough for two single standard pie crusts)
Put the pie crust to the side and let's start with the filling...
Bake the pie filling only in a large casserole dish in hot oven (425 degrees) for 15 minutes. Keep oven door closed and reduce temperature to moderate (350 degrees F/180 degrees Celsius) and continue baking for 45 minutes or until a fork or toothpick inserted in center of dish comes out clean. Cool on wire rack.
Make your favorite pie crust recipe or purchase pie crust pastry. Lay down a sheet of wax paper. Roll the dough thin and cut into circles that are approx 4" in diameter.
ET Tip ~ we pressed the top of a plastic cup into the dough to make our circular cutouts- it worked great!
Put a spoonful of the cool pumpkin mixture towards one side of the center of the circle. Fold over the crust into a half-circle and firmly crimp the edges closed.
ET Tip ~ press down the tips of a fork to crimp the edges of your pasties!
Slice three small slits in the top for venting, place on a greased cookie sheet, and bake at 350 degrees keeping an eye on it because you only want it to bake until the crust is a light golden-brown.
These pumpkin pasties are wonderful served at room-temperature, or enjoy them warm once you have let them cool off a bit! What a great treat to make for your Thanksgiving holiday entertaining too!
Serve up a mug of Butter Beer this holiday season!
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup butterscotch caramel topping (or less if you don't want it to be too sweet)
- 1 tablespoon whipped butter, room temperature
- 2 cups vanilla cream soda
Directions
Combine condensed milk, butterscotch caramel topping, and butter in a glass heatproof measuring cup. Heat in microwave for 1 minute. Remove and stir until butter has melted and incorporated into mixture. Meanwhile heat cream soda in another heatproof measuring cup for 1 minute 30 seconds.
Divide butterscotch mixture between 2 (10 to 12-ounce) mugs. Fill mugs with heated cream soda and stir thoroughly. Serve garnished with an old-fashioned butterscotch candy stick or a cinnamon stick!
ET Tip~ In a hurry getting a party ready for the little ones? Simply just pour cream soda or vanilla cream soda into a mug and serve, an easy way to create the look and have the fizz of a Butter Beer!
There are many variations of this drink, we would love to hear what how yours turns out and what you add!
