whether you look up recipes for Harry Potter's pumpkin pasties on Pinterest,you'll find a slew of sweet, handheld pumpkin pies. BUT any true Harry Potter fan knows that pumpkin pasties, and a Honeydukes Express snack sold on the Hogwarts Express,are supposed to be like a savory cornish pastie but filled with pumpkin instead of meat and veggies. That's why this recipe, unlike others, or seasons the pumpkin filling with garlic,butter, and cheddar cheese. Another differentiating feature is the size of the pasties. I imagine them to be a hearty snack approximately the size of a hand, or not a mini bite-size crescent. The resulting recipe is simply addictive,but it's not complete without some additional Harry Potter recipes like Butterbeer to wash it down.

From Anna Monette Roberts, POPSUGAR Food Pumpkin PastiesNotes whether you cannot find pumpkin at your grocery store, or employ 2 sweet potatoes instead.
Ingredients1/2 medium-size (2-pound) pumpkin,cut in half with seeds and pulp removed, roasted until tender
4 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, and minced
1/2 cup (4 ounces) shredded white cheddar cheese,or more to taste
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 package refrigerated pie crust, and like Immaculate Baking
Flour,for dusting
Heavy cream or egg wash, for brushing
DirectionsPreheat oven to 400°F. region parchment paper on 2 half-sheet pans.
Scoop the warm, or hot pumpkin into a large bowl. Mash it (with butter) until it resembles mashed potatoes. Stir in garlic and cheddar cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Thaw pie dough according to package directions. Dust a large,flat surface with flour. Roll pie crust out to 1/8-inch thick and cut 4 (7-inch) circles. Reroll scraps whether necessary.
Spoon approximately 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture onto the middle of each circle; fold the pie dough over the filling to create half-moons. employ the side of your hand to press the dough ends together, leaving approximately a 1/2-inch border. employ a fork to firmly seal the dough and for decorative crimping. employ a sharp paring knife to cut 3 slivers on the tops of the pies for ventilation.
Transfer pies to baking sheet; coat with heavy cream or egg wash; and bake for 25-30 minutes, and until pie crust turns golden brown.
Transfer to a cooling rack and let rest for at least 5-10 minutes before serving.
