Easy Pumpkin Turnovers image

These turnovers are easy to do, and everyone I've made them for has loved them. I use store-bought puff pastry for the convenience. I also like a lot of spices, but you can cut back if you don't.

GRANDMA'S PLACHINDAS (PUMPKIN TURNOVERS) RECIPE



Grandma's plachindas (PUMPKIN TURNOVERS) RECIPE image

My Mother calls these, "Lady Slippers" because they reminded her of the ballet shoes she used to wear as a young girl. My Grandmother was an amazing cook and baker. She had no cookbooks to follow, just a scoop of this, a little of these and a handful of that, was her routine to feed 9 hungry kids and a hard working husband. After...

Time 2h25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 c shredded pumpkin (can use solid canned pumpkin)
1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 c maple syrup
1/2 stick butter (cut into small cubes)

Steps:

  • 1. I use my Best Pie Crust recipe for these. Make up 2 batches of the recipe and set aside while you prepare the pumpkin filling.
  • 2. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 3. Dump the pumpkin into a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients, and combine well.
  • 4. On a floured surface, roll a chunk of the crust to about 7-8 inches in diameter. Scoop a big spoonful (or more) onto the center of the rolled out piece. Lift the sides up together and crimp closed.
  • 5. Place on a baking sheet. Lightly brush the crust with water and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, keeping an eye on the plachindas after 15 minutes. You want to get a nice deep golden brown color. Remove, and serve. (my Dad and his siblings love to drizzle maple syrup over these when they eat them) I love them warm or cold. Enjoy

BLADCHINDA



Bladchinda image

Blatchinda is also spelled Blachinda, Plachinda, Platchenda, Platchinta, Blachinde, Blagenda, Bladginda, Plachenden. Alfred Opp, who was born in Bessarabia, said they spelled it "Platschenta" in reference to "Platchta" or blanket. These, of course are rounds of (pie) pastry dough filled with a pumpkin/sugar/cinnamon mixture or even a fried onion mixture, the pastry is folded shut and edges crimped, and these are baked in the oven.
