Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c (fan oven).
  2. Unroll the pastry and use the pumpkin cutter to cut out your pumpkin shape. Using half of the pumpkin shapes, carefully cut out a spooky face or gently score them.
  3. Mix all the ingredients together well to create a smooth filling. Add a tablespoon of the pumpkin filling to the middle of the pumpkin shaped pastry. Add one of the cut out spooky pumpkin faces on top and press the edges together with a fork.
  4. Add your spooky pumpkins onto a lined baking tray and gently brush them with your egg wash.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and well risen.
  6. Remove them from the oven and transfer them onto a wire rack until cool. Once cool, you are ready to eat them!
