How to Make Pastry Triangles with Pumpkin-

Don’t be intimidated to work with phyllo sheets. This turnover recipe is very delicate and require care but they turn out SO delicious.

  • Thaw phyllo sheets, and remove 3 sheets. Keep remaining sheets covered with a towel or plastic wrap (sheets tend to dry quickly). Place one phyllo sheet onto the working surface. Lightly brush with butter, and repeat with the remaining 2 sheets. Using a pizza cutter, cut sheets in half lengthwise, creating two long rectangles.
  • Add some filling to the corner of the rectangle (see picture), be sure to leave space around the filling.
  • Fold over creating a triangle and press down to seal the edges so the filling won’t ooze out. Then keep folding over and until all of the dough/filling is used.
  • Continue with remaining ingredients. Brush tops of turnovers with butter
  • Bake 14-16 minutes, or until the turnovers are golden brown.
  • Once triangles have cooled, dust with powdered sugar, optional.
