Ingredients

Scale

Pastry

  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (Use pre-rolled for convenience)

Filling

  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree (The star of the show)
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar (Sweetens the filling)
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Adds moisture and richness)
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Infuses warmth)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Deepens flavor)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger (Adds brightness)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves (Adds warmth)

Topping

  • 1 egg (beaten) (Used for brushing)
  • powdered sugar (Optional sweet topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare puff pastry: Roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet until it is approximately 1/8 inch thick to create a thin, even base for the filling.
  3. Make filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves, blending well to create a smooth, spiced mixture.
  4. Spread filling: Spread the pumpkin filling evenly over the puff pastry, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges to allow for sealing the pastry.
  5. Fold and seal: Fold the puff pastry over the filling to enclose it and press firmly along the edges to seal the filling inside.
  6. Slice and twist: Cut the folded pastry into 1-inch wide strips and twist each strip into spirals to create the signature twist shape.
  7. Arrange on baking sheet: Place the twisted pastries onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for expansion during baking.
  8. Brush with egg wash: Brush the tops of each twist with the beaten egg to promote beautiful golden browning.
  9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the twists are puffed and golden brown all over.
  10. Cool and serve: Remove from the oven, let the twists cool slightly on the baking sheet, then dust with powdered sugar if you like before serving.

Notes

  • Use frozen puff pastry thawed in the refrigerator overnight for best results.
  • Adjust the spice quantities to your taste for a milder or bolder flavor.
  • These twists are best enjoyed the same day they are baked to maintain flakiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness.
  • Powdered sugar topping is optional but adds a nice touch of sweetness and presentation.
