Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 sheet Puff Pastry (pre-rolled) Use pre-rolled for convenience.
  • 1 cup Canned Pumpkin Puree The star of the show.
  • 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling.
  • 1/4 cup Brown Sugar Adds moisture and richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Infuses warmth.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Deepens flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ginger Adds brightness.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Ground Cloves Adds warmth.
  • 1 Egg beaten Used for brushing.
  • Powdered Sugar Optional sweet topping.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to enhance its thinness.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and ground cloves. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Spoon the filling onto one half of the puff pastry, leaving an edge to seal.
  5. Fold the other half over and crimp the edges with a fork to seal the filling inside.
  6. Cut the pastry into thin strips and twist each strip gently.
  7. Place the twists on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them lightly with the beaten egg.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  2. Let them cool slightly before serving.
  3. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Store remaining twists in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer storage. For deeper flavor, consider roasting fresh pumpkin.
