Ingredients




2 eggs, slightly beaten
3/4 cup sugar
2 cups fresh sugar pumkin (or 1 lb. canned)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons melted butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon cardamom
1/2 teaspoon all spice
1 can evaporated milk
9 ounces pie crust pastry (enough for two single standard pie crusts)

Preparation

1 Add eggs and sugar to a mixing bowl and mix until well blended. 2 Stir in the pumpkin, butter, salt and spices. 3 Add evaporated milk and mix well. 4 Bake the filling in a large casserole dish that has been buttered or sprayed with pam. 5 Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. 6 Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking for 45 minutes or until your fork comes out clean. 7 Let the filling cool completely. 8 Make or purchase pie crust pastry. 9 Roll pastry thin and cut into circles about 4 inches in diameter. 10 Put a spoonful of the pumpkin mixture towards one side of the center of the circle. 11 Fold over the crust into a half-circle and firmly crimp the edges closed. 12 Cut with a paring knife three small slits in the top for venting. 13 Place on a greased cookie sheet. 14 Bake at 400 degrees only until crust is a light golden brown, around 10 minutes. 15 Dust with cinnamon and serve at room temperature.

About


Pumpkin Parties are a fictional food from the Harry Potter books. They're sort of like little pocket sized inside-out pumpkin pies. originally appeared here: http://www.geekychef.com/2009/01/pumpkin-pasties_25.html
