Golden puff pastry twists filled with spiced pumpkin and topped with a vanilla glaze.

# Ingredient List:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1 large egg
02 - 2 teaspoons water
03 - 4 sheets puff pastry
04 - 1 cup canned plain pumpkin
05 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
07 - coarse sugar, optional

→ Glaze

08 - 1 cup powdered sugar
09 - 1 tablespoon milk
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Set oven temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, combine egg and water. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, blend canned pumpkin, granulated sugar, and pumpkin pie spice until uniform.
04 - Divide the pumpkin mixture evenly among the four puff pastry sheets. Spread an even layer of filling on each.
05 - Starting at one end, roll the pastry over the pumpkin mixture. Slice down the center with a sharp knife, leaving 1 inch at the top uncut. Twist the two sections together keeping the filling side facing up. Form each pastry into a circle by connecting the ends, pressing them together.
06 - Arrange twisted pastries on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each for expansion.
07 - Lightly brush each twist with the egg wash. If desired, sprinkle with coarse sugar for added texture.
08 - Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until pastries are golden brown.
09 - Remove pastries from oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
10 - In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
11 - Drizzle glaze over the warm pastries and serve immediately.

# Supplementary Details:

01 - Ensure puff pastry remains cold before assembly to achieve the best texture in the final pastry.
