- 125 g cold butter
- 2 egg yolks and 1 whole beaten egg

INSTRUCTIONS
- 1In a bowl, mix flour, turmeric, and a pinch of salt.
- 2Add butter, cut into small pieces, and mix until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
- 3Then add egg yolks and 2 teaspoons of cold water and mix again until the mixture starts to come together. Try squeezing it between your fingers – if it sticks, turn the mixture out onto a work surface. If it's too dry, add more water, 1 teaspoon at a time. Knead the dough by hand until it comes together.
- 4Place the dough on baking paper, cover with another piece of baking paper, and roll out into a thin sheet using a rolling pin. Then chill in the refrigerator for an hour.
- 5Place the pumpkin on a baking sheet lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- 6Bake for about 20 minutes (until the pumpkin is soft) at 180 degrees - top and bottom heat.
- 7Meanwhile, fry the onion in a pan with 1 tablespoon of oil until soft, add crushed garlic and sauté until golden. Let cool.
- 8Add the roasted pumpkin, nutmeg, thyme leaves, chili to taste, salt, and pepper. Add crumbled feta and mix everything together.
- 9Grease six muffin tin holes with butter and line each with a strip of baking paper that will overhang.
- 10Cut out 6 circles with a diameter of 10 cm and 6 with a diameter of 7 cm from the chilled dough. Cut faces into the smaller ones.
- 11Press the larger circles into the muffin tins.
- 12Fill with the prepared pumpkin mixture and cover with the circles with faces. Brush with beaten egg.
- 13Bake at 180 degrees for 40 minutes until golden. Let cool and carefully remove.
