Step 1: Prepare Ingredients
Gather your ingredients: 1 pack of Phyllo (Filo) Dough (400 g, 12 sheets), 700 g of pumpkin, 1 medium onion, 100 g of butter, 2 tablespoons of sugar, salt, and black pepper.
Grate the pumpkin and finely chop the onion.
Step 2: Make the Filling
In a large bowl, combine the grated pumpkin, chopped onion, 2 tablespoons of sugar, a pinch of salt, and some black pepper.
Mix well until everything is uniformly combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Phyllo Dough
Take each rectangular sheet of Phyllo dough and cut it into a square if needed.
Melt 100 g of butter.
Brush each sheet of Phyllo dough with the melted butter.
Divide the pack of Phyllo dough into 2 equal parts.
Step 4: Assemble the Pies
Take the first half of the Phyllo dough and place half of the filling mixture onto it.
Fold the dough over the filling to create a pie.
Repeat this process with the second half of the dough and the remaining filling.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
Grease the tops of the pies with the remaining melted butter.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
Step 6: Bake the Pies
Once the oven is preheated, place the pies onto a baking sheet.
Bake for 50 minutes, or until the Phyllo dough is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious pumpkin pies!
