Step by Step guide
Step 1
Prepare the necessary ingredients.
Step 10
Then allow the finished pie to cool completely.
Step 2
Peel the pumpkin, removing the skin and seeds, and cut it into large pieces. Place it on a baking sheet, cover with foil, and put it in an oven preheated to 374°F for about an hour.
Step 3
Sift the flour, add a pinch of salt, and mix in the chilled butter with your hands until it resembles crumbs or sand.
Step 4
Then add the egg yolk and mix it in. If the dough doesn't come together, add a little cold water. Knead to form a firm dough, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for half an hour.
Step 5
Cool the cooked pumpkin and blend it in a blender until smooth. Transfer the pumpkin puree onto a kitchen towel or a piece of cheesecloth folded into quarters and squeeze out any excess moisture.
Step 6
Combine the pumpkin puree with the eggs, cream, sugar, cornstarch, half a teaspoon of salt, ginger, nutmeg, ground cloves, and black pepper.
Step 7
Roll out the dough and place it in a greased baking dish. Prick the dough with a fork.
Step 8
Place parchment paper on top and fill with baking beans or regular dry beans. Bake in a preheated oven at 374°F for 20 minutes.
Step 9
Transfer the filling onto the pre-baked crust and return it to the oven for another 50–60 minutes.
