Pumpkin Pie

    Just to add confusion - i had those Xmas candies in the next picture on the counter, as I made this very yummy pumpkin pie last night.

    But this, let me tell you, was just divine. I took a slice, cold, in the car with me this morning as I was in too much of a rush to eat breaktast.

    The best idea ever !!!!

    Recipe

    base
    1c plain flour
    1/2 c self rasing flour
    2 TBSP rice flour
    2 TBSP icing sugar
    125g butter
    2 TBSP water

    Filling -
    2 eggs
    1/4 c brown sugar
    2 TBSP maple syrup
    1 1/2 c cooked, mashed pumpkin
    2/3 c evaporated milk
    1tsp cinnamon
    1/2 tsp nutmeg
    1/2 tsp allspice
    1/4tsp ground cloves

    usual base idea, blitz in processor if youre busy, or rub butter in to flours/sugar and add water to bring it together into a ball... rest in fridge for 30 mins to avoid shrinking - i didnt do this, obviously... far too impatient ... roll out to form base, blind bake ( @ 170celcius ) for 10 mins, then cook a further 10. ..

    combine all the filling ingredients into a processor.. zap until smooth and creamy.

    pour into half-cooked base, and bake for @ 50mins at 170c.

      Damn. Was just skimming through the Explore pics for the day, and lamenting on the side that I hadn't found any pumpkin pie in the grocery store yet. One or two clicks later this shows up! Pure torment.
