FAQ
Can I use homemade pumpkin puree instead of canned?
Absolutely! Just make sure your homemade puree is smooth and not too watery for the best results.
Do I need to use pumpkin pie filling or plain pumpkin puree?
Use plain canned pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie filling already contains sugar and spices, which can throw off the flavor and texture of your pastries.
Can I make these pastries ahead of time?
Yes, you can assemble the pastries a few hours ahead and keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to bake. For best texture, drizzle the icing just before serving.
How should I store leftovers?
Store any leftover pastries in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat briefly in the oven or toaster oven for that fresh-baked taste!
