Pumpkin Pasties Recipe from 1947 - Celebrating Pottermore!

We are huge Harry Potter fans at the house of the vintage kitchen, so to celebrate the upcoming opening of the Pottermore website I'm going to be cooking Harry Potter inspired recipes for the next four weeks.

This week's recipe is for pumpkin pasties, a savoury pastry that's also great for hallowe'en and I even teach you how to do the pastie tap :-)

Those look great! I am a huge Harry Potter fan too. :) looking forward to seeing the other HP recipes!

@KarabelnikCookies I'm test cooking quite a few of them this week :)

@KarabelnikCookies I accidentally became a bit obsessed and started rereading the books and writing down all the references to food. I think JK might have been rather hungry when she wrote some parts :)

And I'm wondering where I can screw a hook on the wall so I can make mint humbugs, lol. I may be a bit optimistic though, my kitchen is only 7x10ft :P

This looks super yummy. I feel very inspired by this recipe. Will probably use chesnut mushrooms and American bacon in mine.

@frankinbolton Oops, that 425 F, not 420!

[Knittingand]

@frankinbolton Hi, this is The Vintage Kitchen Sarah from my other Youtubube account

The oven temp is 420 degrees Farenheit or 220 degrees Celsius :)

[frankinbolton]

What was the oven temp? I can't wait to try this!
