"Tikvinki" or "Pumkini's"

This is one of my favorite snacks from childhood, The crispy, flaky crust filled with warm squash. So good, my mouth starts to water whenever I think of them.
I serve these with some soup on a rainy day. ( unfortunately we still have lots of rainy days here in the NW)




First make the dough:

1 egg
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups flour

Knead the dough and leave to rest while you prepare the squash.



Peel and seed the squash, and shred and add 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper:


Prepare the butter. Take 1/2 cup of salted butter. Cube 1/4 of the butter and melt the other 1/4:
Take half of the dough and roll out to 1 cm thick and butter with the melted butter:

Roll up the dough:

Cut into 1 inch sections:

Press each section into flour:

Roll out each section to about 2 cm thick
Put one butter cube onto the dough and 1 TB of the squash:

Fold each piece up like so:

Place on a greased sheet.
Beat one egg and brush each pumkini:

Bake at 350 for 24 minutes, or until slightly golden. Then take the melted butter and brush each pumpkini:

All Done:
Yummy!!!
