Pumpkin-filled pastries
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You can make the pumpkin filling sweet, or mix it with spices. Since I use ready-made dough for baking, the preparation process won't take long. You can prepare the filling in advance and then store it in the refrigerator. This pastry goes well with tea.
