Yield Makes 18 to 24

Number Of Ingredients 8

All-purpose flour, for parchment
1 standard package (17.3 ounces) frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
2 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 cups finely grated Gruyere cheese
1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Generously flour two pieces of parchment paper; on each, roll out an unfolded pastry sheet to form a 15-by-13-inch rectangle, about 1/16 inch thick. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, stir the paprika into the melted butter.
  • Remove pastry from the refrigerator, and brush off excess flour. Spread a rectangle of pastry with mustard; sprinkle with both cheeses. Season with pepper. Lay a second pastry rectangle on top.
  • Place a sheet of parchment on top of the stacked pastry; using a rolling pin, roll until smooth and pastry layers are sealed together. Remove parchment, and brush top of pastry with butter mixture. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • With a pumpkin-shaped cookie cutter, cut into 18 to 24 shapes. Immediately place the shapes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Using a sharp paring knife, score each shape four or five times to make pumpkin ridges. Bake until golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer puffs to a wire rack; let cool slightly before serving.

Impressive, but surprisingly simple to make. A classic puff recipe with a delicious variation in the filling for your fall and winter table.

Provided by CarolynWG

Categories     Fruits and Vegetables     Vegetables     Squash

Time 1h

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup butter
1 cup water
1 pinch salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 eggs
2 cups heavy cream
½ cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for dusting
1 ½ teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, or to taste, plus extra for dusting
½ (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Place the butter, water, and salt in a heavy saucepan, and bring to a full rolling boil. Stir in the flour and beat vigorously until the mixture forms a ball. Place the dough ball in a mixing bowl, and beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding the next egg when the last one has been fully incorporated.
  • Drop dough by tablespoons onto an ungreased baking sheet, and bake until the puffs rise and are golden brown on top, with fully-cooked insides, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool before filling. Cut the cream puffs horizontally with a serrated knife.
  • To make filling, place the cream in the work bowl of an electric mixer, and whip until beginning to thicken, about 1 minute. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar and pumpkin pie spice until well-mixed, and continue mixing until the cream forms soft peaks, about 3 minutes.
  • Use a rubber spatula or wire whisk to fold 1/3 of the pumpkin puree into the whipped cream. Gently run the spatula through the center of the bowl, then around the sides of the bowl, repeating until fully incorporated. Add the remaining pumpkin puree, folding just until incorporated.
  • Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the pumpkin cream filling into each puff, and dust the top of each puff with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of pumpkin pie spice for garnish. Refrigerate leftovers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right pumpkin. The best pumpkins for this recipe are small, sugar pumpkins, also known as pie pumpkins or baby pumpkins. They have a sweet, flavorful flesh that is perfect for baking. Avoid using large, field pumpkins, as they have a more watery flesh and are not as flavorful.
  • Roast the pumpkin before using it. Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. To roast the pumpkin, simply cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the pumpkin at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 45 minutes, or until the flesh is soft and tender.
  • Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin. This will help to create a smooth, lump-free batter. You can also use a potato masher, but this will take a little more time and effort.
  • Add some spices to the batter. Pumpkin is a very versatile ingredient, and it can be paired with a variety of spices. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice. You can also add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the pumpkin puffs in a hot oven. This will help them to rise and become light and fluffy. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit before baking the pumpkin puffs.

Conclusion:

These savory pumpkin puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply enjoying at home. The pumpkin puffs are light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet and savory flavor. They are also very versatile, and can be served with a variety of dipping sauces. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, give these savory pumpkin puffs a try. You won't be disappointed!
