How To Make Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties At Home

Remember Harry Potter pumpkin pasties, the delicious desserts from the train trolley? They are here and they are easy to make. This wizard-favorite dessert is very similar to Cornish pasties, the difference being Cornish pasties and pumpkin pasties are that the former is savory and the latter is sweet.

The simplicity of this recipe makes it all the more lovable. So, this fall, if you love pumpkins and Harry Potter, try making this magical dessert. The recipe for Harry Potter pumpkin pasties is just a little scroll away. But before you read out the entire recipe, check out other Harry Potter recipes from our website.

  • Large Bowl and Small Bowl- These sisters come together for this recipe. Use the large bowl to make the puree mixture and the small bowl to make the egg wash. 
  • Baking Tray with Baking Paper- After you have prepared the half-moons for baking, place them on the baking tray that you have prepped with baking paper.
  • Oven- The pumpkin pasties should be golden and flaky. Bake them in the oven and they’ll fit this description. 
  • Rolling Pin- The rolling pin helps flatten the dough to give us the thin pastry dough we want.

For The Filling

  • Pumpkin Puree- I have used canned puree for this puree. If you want to make pumpkin puree at home, just bake a deseeded and peeled pumpkin at 200℃ for 45 minutes. After that, puree it in a food processor and you have fresh pumpkin puree. 
  • Granulated Sugar- Add the sugar to the puree to make it sweeter than it already is. 
  • Spice (Cinnamon, Allspice, Cardamon, and Nutmeg) – After sugar, comes spice, to make everything warm and nice. You can’t make a pumpkin recipe without adding the staple fall spices. 
Pasties Recipe

Steps To Make Harry Potter Pumpkin Pasties

1. The Spicy Puree

First, make the filling for the pumpkin pasties. Everything else comes after that. In a bowl, add the pumpkin puree along with the sugar. Then, add cinnamon, allspice, nutmeg, and cardamom. Give it a good mix and keep it aside.

2. Flat Dough Society

Before you start making these delicious pasties, set the temperature of the oven to 200℃ so that it is ready when you have to bake them.

After that, roll the pastry dough on a working surface that has been lightly floured just for this sole purpose. The dough should be about 3mm thick (I am not sure how you’ll measure that but I am just giving you an idea). Then, use a round pie cutter and cut about 15 circles from the rolled-out dough.

3. The Half Side Of The Moon

When the dough and filling are ready, it’s time to fill the puree into the pastry dough. At one side of the dough circles, spoon some of the puree mixture and close the dough to enclose the filling inside making a half-moon.

Wet the edges with some water to seal them completely. Then, using a fork, make a crimping design on the edges.

4. All Flaky and Golden

In a small bowl, mix egg with milk to make the egg wash. Brush the pasties with this egg wash. Also, take the tip of the knife and make two small vents on top of each of the pasties.

Place the pumpkin pasties on a prepared baking tray that is lined with baking paper. Put the tray in the oven bake the pasties for about 20 minutes until they are golden and flaky. 

After that take them out of the oven and let them cool down for about 5 minutes. Once they have cooled completely, these golden harry potter pumpkin pasties are ready to serve.
