# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Pastry and Filling

01 - 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
02 - 1/2 cup canned pumpkin puree
03 - 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 tablespoon brown sugar
05 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
06 - 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
08 - 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

→ Finishing

09 - 1 egg, beaten
10 - Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and roll to smooth any creases.
03 - In a bowl, combine pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir until smooth and integrated.
04 - Evenly spread pumpkin mixture over the pastry sheet, leaving a border at the edges.
05 - Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling, pressing gently. Slice into 1-inch wide strips with a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
06 - Brush each pastry strip with beaten egg for a golden finish.
07 - Arrange twists on the prepared tray and bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and deep golden brown.
08 - Remove from oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before rolling to prevent tearing.
