4 c. all-purpose flour
3 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 c. Crisco shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. anise seeds
1 1/2 c. milk or water

Knead ingredients together. Form into balls and roll out. Set aside until filling is complete.

FILLING:

2 lg. cans pumpkin
4 tbsp. shortening or butter
2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. anise seeds
1 tsp. cinnamon

Melt shortening or butter in a large pan. Add the rest of the ingredients, stirring constantly. When filling turns a dark orange color, remove from fire and let cool slightly. Place a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each rolled pastry. Fold over and use a fork to close pastry. Cook at 350 degrees until pastry is brown.
