- Salt - ¾ spoons
- Water - 1 fl oz
- Pumpkin - 1½ kg
- Whole egg - 1 piece
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Brown Sugar - 3.5 oz
- Sugar - 2.3 oz

Step by Step guide
Step 1
In a food processor, combine the flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and cold butter, and blend until crumbly.
Step 2
Then, while continuing to beat, gradually add the ice-cold water until the dough comes together into a ball.
Step 3
Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
Step 4
Cut the pumpkin in half, remove the seeds, and place it in an oven preheated to 392°F.
Step 5
Bake until soft — this will take about 40 to 60 minutes. The flesh should separate easily from the skin.
Step 6
Use a spoon to scoop the skin off the pumpkin.
Step 7
Blend the pumpkin flesh into a puree using a blender, then let it cool.
Step 8
Beat 1 egg yolk and the eggs until slightly frothy.
Step 9
Add sugar, 0.5 teaspoons of salt, and spices, then mix well.
Step 10
Pour in the cream and stir again.
Step 11
Add 4 cups of pumpkin puree and mix until smooth.
Step 12
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of 3–5 mm.
Step 13
Transfer the dough to the pan and shape the edges neatly.
Step 14
Prick the dough well with a fork.
Step 15
Pour the filling over the dough, spreading it to the edges.
Step 16
Place the pie in an oven preheated to 419°F (about 420 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 356°F (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Allow the finished pie to cool completely.
