1. Honeydukes Express Pumpkin Pasties Following their trip to the Harry Potter Studios, Year 4 have enjoyed making their own Harry Potter inspired recipes. Ingredients Pie Filling: Short Crust pastry 2 eggs, slightly beaten 250g plain flour 150g sugar 125g unsalted butter, chilled 450g tinned pumpkin (Libby’s brand sold in A pinch of sea salt UK supermarkets) 1 tablespoon of caster sugar 1/2 tsp. salt Small amount of iced water 1 tsp. cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ginger 1/4 tsp. cloves 1 large tin of evaporated milk 1/2 tsp. allspice Mix the flour and cubed butter together to form breadcrumbs. Add the salt and sugar and mix well. Add the cold water a teaspoon at a time until the pastry can form a ball. (Don’t add too much water or the pastry will be hard) Cover with Clingfilm and chill for 1 hour in the fridge. Mix all the pie filling ingredients together in an overproof dish and bake the pie filling only for 50 minutes or until table knife inserted in center of dish comes out clean. Cool on wire rack. To form the pasties, roll out the pastry quite thin (3mm) and cut into circles approx 4" in diameter. Put a spoonful of the cool pumpkin mixture towards one side of the center of the circle. Fold over the crust into a half-circle and firmly crimp the edges closed. Place on a greased baking sheet, and bake only until crust is a light golden-brown. Great served at room-temperature.
