Makes 9 portions
Ingredients
- 350g plain flour
- 175g salted butter, cubed
- 4 tbsp cold water
- 350g sausage meat
- 150g pumpkin purée
- 1 tsp dried sage
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 egg
- 18 edible eyes
Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Lined baking tray
- Rolling pin
- Spoon
- Fork
- Knife
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (fan).
- In the large mixing bowl, combine the flour and butter by rubbing it together between your fingertips, until a crumb consistency is achieved. Add the water and bring together with your hands to form a pastry dough. Wrap the dough in cling film and pop in the freezer to rest while you make the filling.
- Wash up the mixing bowl then use it to combine the sausage meat, pumpkin purée, sage and salt. Set to one side.
- Take the dough out of the freezer and, on a lightly floured surface, roll it out into a large rectangle (2-3mm thickness) then portion into 12 smaller rectangles.
- Place 9 of the pastry rectangles onto the tray and spoon the sausage filling into the centre of each one leaving an index finger width border around every edge.
- Beat the egg, then use your finger to egg wash the edges of each pie.
- Cut the remaining 3 rectangles into 1 cm strips and lay them over the filling of each pie, using the egg washed edges to stick them. Trim if necessary.
- Use your finger to egg wash the strips then bake the pies for 20-25 minutes until golden. Allow to cool slightly before placing two edible eyes on each one and serving. They can also be enjoyed cold.
