Placinta cu Dovleac (Pumpkin Pasty)

Moldovan Placinta cu dovleac is a beloved pastry made with shredded pumpkin. Placinta is basically a puff pastry that can be stuffed with all sorts of yummy things, like apples, cherries, cheese, etc. Many Moldovans can make the dough from scratch which is really an art form. I made ours using puff pastry dough to make it quick and easy to make. You of course can pick the filling you like but do try the pumpkin, it was lovely.
