SophiePumpkin pasties are one of the many treats served on board the Hogwarts Express. However, Sophie's version here is probably a bit more savory than what Harry and his friends ate.
Ingredients
Filling
- 16 oz. pumpkin skinned, seeded
- 2 potatoes large
- 1 onion large, diced
- 1 tsp. chives chopped
- 2 tsp. soy sauce (to taste)
- 2 tsp. hoisin sauce (to taste)
Dough
- 2 sheets puff pastry dough
Egg Wash
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp. water
Instructions
Filling
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Fill a pot of water to boil on the stove.
- Clean and peel potatoes. Chop potatoes and pumpkin into rough 2–3 cm cubes. Move cubes to boiling water. Return pot to boil and cook for 15–20. Cubes should be tender.
- Gently fry diced onion in a small amount of oil until it is soft and slightly browned (but not caramelized).
- Drain potato and pumpkin. Mash them until they form a smooth paste uing a potato masher. Mix in fried onion and chives.
- Add hoisin sauce and soy sauce to taste. Set filling aside.
Egg Wash
- Whisk the egg and water together. Set aside.
Building & Baking
- Cut 3" rounds out of pastry sheets. Scoop about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of filling onto each piece of pastry. Brush egg wash around the edge of each round and fold in half. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
- Bake pasties for 25 minutes, or until outside is golden and flaky.
Notes
- Additional pumpkin can be substituted for the potatoes if desired. Use 5 oz. pumpkin for each large potato.
- This recipe may yield more filling than needed. Increase the number of puff pastry sheets as required.
