Jeff's Pumpkin Pie
For 1 9-inch (22 cm) Pie

  • Pie Crust flour mixture ( http://www.hunterlisberg.com - you can get the original baking plate there in Germany)
  • 170 g/6 oz butter, room temperature
  • 4-6 tbsp iced water

this makes 2 pie crusts, but you can put half of it into the freezer and use it for another pie.

Or you can make your own dough for 1 pie crust:

  • 1 cup flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 ½ oz butter, cut into cubes
  • 3 tbsp cold water

Filling:

  • 1 egg
  • 8 oz pumpkin puree (see below)
  • 3 oz granulated sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg, ground
  • 1/8 tsp cloves, ground
  • ½ tsp cinnamon, ground
  • ¼ tsp ginger, ground
  • 6 oz evaporated milk

Pumpkin Puree:

Wash, seed and chop

  • 1 Hokkaido pumpkin

Steam with the skin in a bowl with a sieve for about 20 minutes until soft. Puree the whole pumpkin in a food processor fitted with a metal chopping blade. Fill the puree into a fine sieve and drain over night. You can put the puree in the freezer and use it later e.g. for Spaghetti with pumpkin sauce.

  1. Mix the pie mixture according to the packet instructions. Or you can make your own dough for the pie crust, roll out and fill into the greased pie sheet pan. (Or use unbaked pie shells.)
  2. Beat the egg lightly, combine with the pumpkin. Blend in the sugar.
  3. Add the salt and the spices, then the evaporated milk. Whisk until completly blended and smooth.
  4. Allow the filling to rest for 15-20 minutes before filling the pie. This allows the starch in the pumpkin to begin absorbing liquid, making it less likely to separate after baking.
  5. Pour the filling into the pie crust or the unbaked pie shells. Place in the oven on a preheated sheet pan at 400°F (220°C). Bake for 15 minutes. Lower the oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and bake until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, approximately 40-50 minutes.
