Pumpkin pie

Pumpkin pie is an easy and delicious homemade baking idea. Pumpkin is not often used for preparing any dishes, although it has a number of beneficial properties. For example, it can be added to baked goods as a filling or as an additive to dough. Keep in mind that for the pie it is best to choose pumpkin with orange, dense flesh.

Classic recipe for pumpkin pie in the oven

One of the secrets to making pumpkin pie is that it should not be served hot, otherwise it will simply fall apart. After cooling, the pie should be cut into pieces directly in the mold and seasoned with whipped cream. How to prepare a delicacy? Let's ask foodist Linda Heward-Mills.

1. 
   It is better to put the butter for the dough in the refrigerator in advance. Frozen butter is the key to making a successful dough. We take it out and cut off 115 grams. Cut into cubes and place in a mixer bowl.
2. 
   Sift the flour directly into the bowl. Add ¼ teaspoon of salt. Grind the butter to fine crumbs.
3. 
   While grinding the ingredients, gradually pour in ice water. The dough should be coarse, easily separate from the sides of the bowl and roll into a ball.
4. 
   Roll the dough into a ball, being careful not to warm it with your hands. Wrap it in cling film and put it in the refrigerator for 4 hours (this is the minimum, it is better to remove the dough overnight).
5. 
   Choose a pumpkin with dense orange flesh and cut off its tops evenly. Cut the pumpkin itself in half.
6. 
   Preheat the oven in advance (temperature – 200 degrees). Remove the seeds from the pumpkin halves with a tablespoon. Place the halves on a baking sheet. Place the pumpkin in the oven.
7. 
   After 40-60 minutes, when the pumpkin becomes soft and the pulp easily comes away from the peel, remove the baking sheet from the oven. If the flesh begins to burn during simmering but is still raw, cover it with foil.
8. 
   Let the pumpkin cool slightly and separate the pulp from the peel with a spoon.
9. 
   Transfer the pulp to a deep bowl and puree with a blender. Let it cool.
10. 
    Now we need 3 eggs. Drive one egg into a deep bowl, not completely, but only the yolk. Beat 2 more eggs completely into the yolk. Beat the eggs until light foam forms. You don't have to do this with a mixer. A whisk is enough.
11. 
    Add both types of sugar, half a teaspoon of salt and spices to the eggs. Mix the ingredients.
12. 
    Add the cream to the mixture and mix the mixture again until smooth using a whisk.
13. 
    Measure out 4 cups of pumpkin mixture (freeze if there is any left). Spread the puree into the cream mixture. Mix the ingredients until smooth.
14. 
    We take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it warm up a little to restore its elasticity, and then roll out a layer of no more than 3-5 millimeters thick from the lump.
15. 
    Take a round baking dish and grease it with a small piece of butter. Place the dough into the container, trying to press it as tightly as possible to the bottom and sides.
16. 
    We cut off the excess dough with a knife and pinch the edges of the workpiece nicely. Pierce the dough with a fork.
17. 
    Pour the filling into the dough to the very top. When baked, it will rise and become a beautiful cap.
18. 
    Preheat the oven at a temperature of 215-220 degrees, and then place the pie inside the oven. Bake it for 15 minutes. Then we change the temperature to 180 degrees and simmer the pie for 45 minutes. Remove the finished dish from the oven. Let it cool directly in the baking dish.
