Kabocha Pie – An Easy Halloween Snack step by step
- Remove the seeds, skin, and insides of the kabocha and cut it into bite-size pieces. You can cut the thick skin safely if you cut the kabocha as shown in the picture..

- While the kabocha is still hot, add the butter and sugar and mix it all together as the butter melts, creating a paste..
- Take the two sheets of puff pastry out of the freezer and let thaw for 5-10 minutes, then cut each one into four parts..
- Preheat the oven to 410F/210C..
- Take two of the quartered puff pastry, and use a knife to make five slits in the middle..
- Pierce the remaining two sheets with a fork in several places. * Omit, if the puff pastry comes with holes poked in it..
- Prepare the other sheet of puff pastry in the same way. * You should have four rectangles with slits in them and four with holes in them for a total of eight..
- Leaving 7-8 mm of space on each edge, spoon a portion of the kabocha filling in the middle of each rectangle of puff pastry without the slits..
- Place the rectangles of puff pastry with the slits on top of the sheets with the kabocha filling, and using a fork, firmly press the edges of the two sheets together..
- Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet, arrange the pies, brush the tops with egg yolk, then bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven..
