Pumpkin season just wouldn't be complete without these flaky triangles of goodness. I'm hoarding cans of pumpkin so I can make these all year round. Am I the only one that hoards cans of pumpkin? #noshame The full recipe is at the bottom of this post. Be sure to print it out for later.

First, you'll line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Then, you'll roll out the puff pastry into a large rectangle or square. Cut into 8 squares. Set aside.

To make the filling, beat together the pumpkin, egg yolk, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl. Save the egg white for later.

Place a heaping tablespoon or two of the pumpkin filling in the center of the puff pastry square.

Fold into a triangle by bringing the corners together and use a fork to press the edges together and seal.

Repeat with all the squares of puff pastry. You might need another sheet of puff pastry to use up all of the filling.

Using a pastry brush, brush the tops of the triangles with the egg white for a golden and glossy turnover.

Bake the turnovers until they are lightly browned. Aren't they beautiful?

To make the glaze, mix together the powdered sugar and milk, adding the cream slowly until you reach your desired consistency. Drizzle over warm turnovers.
