I'm going to be making these today for my grand-daughters 6th birthday party tomorrow. Can anyone tell me how they reheat if fully cooked today or should I just prepare them today, leave them uncooked and take them to DD's tomorrow and cook them in her oven?

Thanks CP63, I have the filling in the fridge and have decided to fill the pastry rounds in the morning and cook them when I get to DD's. I want them to be at their best when they are served as I'm sure people will ask if they were made in the TMX  :-)) :-))

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Oh heck, I knew there was something I had to reply to :-)) :-)).  Sorry CP, they were lovely - I did cook them at DD's.  The only problem I had with them was that my filling seemed too thin.  How thick is it supposed to be - I expected the consistency of mashed potato but mine didn't want to stay in a blob even though it had chilled in the fridge overnight. I could only use about a teaspoonful of mixture in the 8cm circle and even then it oozed out of some when I crimped the edges of the pastry together.  Consequently some of them only had a tiny taste of filling in them but they were still very nice.  Maybe I'll use a firmer pumpkin next time like Queensland Blue rather than butternut.  I had quite a bit of filling left which I froze and I am going to use it as a pasta sauce.

JD I had the same problem so now I know it wasnt something I did wrong. What filling did stay in was lovely!

Less water maybe?

 I would use a firmer pumpkin, less water and watch it very closely next time.  Let's see what CP63 thinks.

I would have used a 10cm circle, as its probably about the diameter of one of my cups. Off memory its about a heaped teaspoon before it is hard to seal and close off. You start to know tho how much you can put in once you get going.
