Pumpkin Pie

🍰 Desserts

Spiced pumpkin custard in buttery pastry, the November table centrepiece. Golden-crusted and generous, with clean slices and no sogginess. A slice of sharp cheese alongside is old-school and excellent.

Prep 32 min Cook 51 min Serves 9 Medium

Ingredients

  • Butter1/2 cup, cold
  • Salt1/2 tsp
  • All-Purpose Flour2 cups
  • Sugar2 tbsp
  • Pumpkin300 g, cubed
  • Ground Cinnamon1 tsp
  • Shortcrust Pastry1 cup, chopped
  • Egg Yolk1 cup, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Keep everything cold — the butter, the water, even the bowl — that is the whole secret of pastry.

  2. 2

    Toss the butter through the flour, add just enough cold water to hold, and press into a disc.

  3. 3

    Refrigerate the dough; cold dough rolls cleaner and bakes flakier.

  4. 4

    Work the pumpkin and shortcrust pastry into the dough, folding gently for even distribution.

  5. 5

    Bake until the crust is browned and the filling bubbles at the vents, 35-50 minutes, then rest twenty minutes.

Chef's tip

Room-temperature ingredients blend smoother — pull the dairy and eggs out of the fridge an hour ahead.
