Savoury Pumpkin Pasties Recipe (Harry Potter Inspired)

Pumpkin Pasties are a staple in the Wizarding World, and on the Hogwarts Express. Two things you need to know about me are I love Harry Potter, and I love anything wrapped in pastry, therefore I knew I had to have a go at making pumpkin pasties.

Whilst in the Harry Potter books the pasties are sweet, I wanted to do a savoury take on them – and I have to say I’m really happy with how they turned out.

They’re little crispy nuggets of autumnal joy, and a perfect lunch or afternoon snack. This recipe makes about 15 mini pasties, and are perfect for freezing too.

Et voila, your pumpkin pasties are ready.

Whilst they’re a tad time consuming to put together, they’re so worth it. I love making snacks like this because you can make a load and pop them in the freezer.

Another option is to make your own pastry, which is actually really simple to do. This rough puff pastry is a recipe I’ve used before, and it’s not too difficult. Although I do have to say, sometimes it’s just a lot easier to use ready-made pastry!

One thing I forgot to do when I made these was to egg wash them! By egg washing, you get a darker and crispier pastry.
