To make:

- Pinch the dough at the top and fold corners of the dough upwards to create a mini pumpkin shaped delight.
- Place four pieces of string into a star shaped pattern on a work surface, place your pumpkin ball in the centre and tie each piece of string at the top of the pumpkin to create the indents.
- Put on a baking tray, cook for 15 minutes and enjoy!
