Excellent Pumpkin Pie
If what you are looking for is variety when eating a delicious dessert, and you want to vary the apple and lemon pie a bit, today the alternative is one that is just as healthy, rich and delicious, but based on pumpkins.
This recipe consists of two parts, the first, which consists of preparing the Pie crust and the second, which consists of the filling, so let's start:
Ingredients for the crust
80 grams of butter,
1 cup of wheat flour,
1 tablespoon of milk,
1 egg,
1 ½ tablespoon of icing sugar.
Scab preparation method
1. We will start the preparation of the crust for the Pie and for this we will place the flour in a bowl together with the sugar and mix until they are completely uniform.
2. We will add the butter and mix until they become a kind of sand.
3. After this we add the milk and the egg, kneading until it becomes a mace.
4. Once the mixture is uniform, we will place it in the refrigerator to keep it refrigerated while we prepare the filling.
Cover the mixture with a cloth so that it does not absorb the odors of the other foods in the fridge.
Ingredients for the stuffing
1 ½ cup of pumpkin purée.
1 can of condensed milk.
3 eggs.
1 ½ teaspoon of Pumpkin spices.
Method of preparing the filling
1. The first thing is to process the pumpkin and for this we will cut it into pieces of an average size which we can place to boil in a pot in order to turn it into a purée.
2. Once the purée is obtained, we will place it in the blender along with the condensed milk, the eggs and the tablespoons of Pumpkin spices to start blending.
3. During this time, preheat the oven to a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius.
4. Once the mixture is ready, we take our dough out of the refrigerator and if you have a Pie mold or a round baking tray, we expand the dough on it.
Remember to separate a little of the dough if you want to make a decoration on the top of the Pie.
5. Once the dough is expanded, we place our mixture inside it, if you wish you can cover it completely or make a braided design on top.
6. Once the decoration is ready, we take it to the oven for a period of about 35 to 40 minutes.
7. We will wait until the filling mixture feels firm, we will verify this with a toothpick or a pastry needle.
After this, we only have to wait for it to cool down in order to cut it and serve it with the drink that you like the most and enjoy its excellent flavor, and why stop there if we can combine it with a little from our second recipe.
