Tip
Pumpkin pasties are a wizarding food sold on the lunch trolley on the Hogwarts Express. Many people imagine pumpkin pasties as sweets - like American pumpkin pie - but I have always imagined them as something savoury and filling to balance out all the sugar in the other treats Harry Potter and his friends consume on the trip back to school.
Instead of the "pumpkin" shape, these pasties could also be made by pressing the pastry into muffin tins.
Store in fridge.

This recipe is so delicious and is super easy. We first made these when the new Harry Potter book came out, but we keep on making them because they taste so good!
Nice easy recipe. I found I needed to cook my pumpkin a little bit longer than 20min, but no biggie
