Puff Pastry Pumpkins

To make the puff pastry pumpkins, roll out the pastry on a lightly floured work surface 1. Using an 8 cm (3.15 inches) pastry cutter, cut out 12 squares 2. Remove the excess dough 3

and cut out the eye and mouth shapes on half of the squares, inspired by the classic Halloween pumpkin carvings. For this step, we recommend first cutting the shape out of cardboard to make it easier (4-5). Brush the edges of the intact squares with a little water 6.

Place a tablespoon of orange marmalade in the center 7, then place the cut-out pastry on top of the shape 8 and press the edges well to prevent the filling from leaking during baking. Place the puff pastry pumpkins on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper 9,

brush the surface with the egg yolk diluted with a little water 10, sprinkle with brown sugar 11, and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 25 minutes. After the baking time, your puff pastry pumpkins will be nicely golden on the surface 12: enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
