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.
