Ingredients

Scale

1 sheet Puff Pastry (pre-rolled for convenience)
1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree
1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 cup Brown Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon Ginger
1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves
1 egg (beaten for brushing)
Optional: Powdered Sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Mix well until smooth.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to an even thickness.
Cut the pastry into rectangles or strips. Place about a tablespoon of filling on one side of each piece and fold over to create twists, sealing edges tightly.
Brush each twist with beaten egg for a golden finish.
Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar if desired.
