Cooking InstructionsHide images
step 1
In a small pot on a low heat add 100% Pumpkin Purée (1 can), Dark Brown Sugar (3/4 cup), vanilla bean caviar and scraped Vanilla Bean Pod (1/2), Salt (1 pinch), and Ground Cinnamon (1/2 tsp) and combine well.
step 2
Once filling mixture is bubbling and gently simmering, cover with a lid and simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes. Be sure to stir throughout simmer time.
step 3
Once pumpkin filling is thick and paste like, remove from heat and cool completely.
step 4
In a large bowl add All-Purpose Flour (2 1/3 cups), Granulated Sugar (1/3 cup), Active Dry Yeast (1/2 Tbsp), Salt (1/4 tsp), Ground Cinnamon (1/2 Tbsp), Unsalted Butter (1/2 cup), Milk (2/3 cup) and combine with clean hands. Mix and combine in a bowl until a dough ball forms.
step 5
Place on clean work surface and knead for five minutes, then divide the dough into 12 to 14 balls.
step 6
Use extra flour for dusting work surface and rolling pin. Roll out dough ball in to a flat disc and add 1 to 1 1/2 Tbsp of cooled pumpkin filling to the center. Fold over the dough encasing the filling and firmly press edges to seal the empanada.

Place on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue the process until all empanadas are done. Cover empanadas with cling wrap and allow them to rest for 30 minutes.
