Posted On: 2014-06-24 13:45:59

DIRECTIONS:

Pastry:

1.5 cups white flour
1/2 cup wholemeal flour
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
Iced water

DIRECTIONS:

In a food processor, mix all of the ingredients.
Then gradually add the ice water until the mixture clings together.
Wrap in cling film & chill while you prepare the filling.

Filling Ingredients:

3 eggs
2 cups cooked pumpkin, mashed
3/4 cup honey
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1 cup evaporated milk

DIRECTIONS:

Place all ingredients in a blender & mix until smooth.

Pour into prepared pie shell.

The dough can be rolled out on baking paper then placed in an eight-10 inch pie or flan tin.

Don't worry if it breaks, as it can easily be repaired once in the tin.

I usually find it's not always necessary to pre-bake the crust, as some recipes state.

Bake pie at 200 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes then reduce heat to 180 degrees Celsius and bake for 45 minutes or until pie has set.

Serve with whipped cream, sweetened with a little honey & enjoy winter's harvest.
