Sweet pumpkin pastries
Ingredients
- 500g filo pastry
- 4 cups grated pumpkin
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup walnut, chopped
- 2/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 2-3 tbsp breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp cinnamon, ground
- icing sugar for decorating
Directions
-
Mix the pumpkin, walnut, sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl.
-
Grease half of each filo pastry sheet, and fold in two. Grease once more. On the longest side of each pastry sheet, add spoonfuls of filling (2-3 tbsp per pastry), and tightly fold the pastry into a roll. Fold each roll into a spiral, and place on a greased baking dish. Alternatively, you can make one big spiral-shaped pie, by placing the first spiral in the centre of the baking dish and placing the other rolls around it.
-
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 40' approximately. Serve after sprinkling with icing sugar.
