Ingredients

Filling

  • 1 1/4 cup pumpkin, canned
  • 1 medium banana
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

  • Add lemon juice to the milk to make buttermilk and set aside.
  • Cut refrigerated butter into small cubes.
  • Combine flour and salt in a medium bowl. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork , working the dough as little as possible until course, pebble-size pieces form. Add the buttermilk mixture and mix the dough together until it combines just enough to stick together when you pinch it.
  • Divide the dough into two balls and form each half into a thick disk (so it's round with a flat top - ready to be rolled out later). Wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Set the dough in the fridge for 20-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400* F.
  • In a small bowl, combine pumpkin, well-mashed banana, brown sugar, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Once chilled, roll the pastry dough out with a rolling pin on a well-floured surface until it is a little less than 1/4 inch thick. Cut circles 4 to 5 inches wide, using a round pastry cutter or tracing a round object with a knife. Combine all scraps in a ball and roll out once more to repeat.
  • Evenly distribute the pumpkin mixture into the middle of each of the pastry circles. Fold the circles over and crimp around the edges to seal pastry, using a fork or your fingers. Place at least an inch apart on a baking sheet.
  • Brush each pastry with egg wash, then sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until nicely browned. Remove from the sheet after a few minutes and place on a cooling rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
