Tip

Pumpkin pasties are a wizarding food sold on the lunch trolley on the Hogwarts Express.  Many people imagine pumpkin pasties as sweets - like American pumpkin pie - but I have always imagined them as something savoury and filling to balance out all the sugar in the other treats Harry Potter and his friends consume on the trip back to school.

 

Instead of the "pumpkin" shape, these pasties could also be made by pressing the pastry into muffin tins.

 

Store in fridge.
