Flaky crescent rolls filled with a spiced pumpkin filling, perfect for fall treats

Ingredients:
For the croissant dough:
1 roll of pre-rolled puff pastry (or store-bought croissant dough) 🥐
For the pumpkin filling:
150g pumpkin puree (homemade or canned) 🎃
2 tbsp brown sugar 🍬
1 tsp ground cinnamon 🌿
½ tsp ground nutmeg 🌿
¼ tsp ground ginger 🌿
1 tsp vanilla extract 🌿
For the glaze:
1 beaten egg 🥚
1 tbsp milk 🥛
For decoration (optional):
Icing sugar for dusting 🍥
Simple frosting (mixture of icing sugar and a little milk)
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Pumpkin Filling:
In a bowl, mix the pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
2️⃣ Prepare the Dough:
Roll out the puff pastry or croissant dough on a clean surface. Cut it into equal triangles.
3️⃣ Add the Filling:
Place a small spoonful of pumpkin filling at the base of each triangle. Spread the filling lightly, leaving the edges free.
4️⃣ Roll the Croissants:
Roll each triangle from the base to the tip to form a croissant. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, point down to prevent them from opening.
5️⃣ Brush and Bake:
Mix the beaten egg with the milk for the egg wash. Brush each croissant with this mixture.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the croissants are golden brown and flaky.
6️⃣ Decorate and Serve:
Let cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar or topping with a light glaze. Serve warm to enjoy all their flavor! 😋
