- 1/2 cup double cream
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 egg
- Preheat the oven to 180C/350F.
- There is a saying "people with cold hands are good at making pastry," so keep the butter in fridge until you need it.
- Prepare a bowl, add flour and butter.
- Mix them with your fingers, but do not knead the mixture.
- When you get a crumbly, sand like texture, add water slowly until the texture becomes soft like your earlobe.
- Continue to mix, but do not knead.
- Make a dough, and wrap it in plastic film and chill for a minimum of 30 min in the fridge.
- Cut a pumpkin into small bite-sized pieces (about 3 cm cubes) and put them into a microwaveable container.
- Heat in a microwave for about 3 min until the pumpkin becomes soft.
- Put the pumpkin pieces into a bowl.
- Mash them until it becomes roughly creamy in texture.
- Add sugar and keep mixing.
- Pour the beaten eggs, the half cup of milk and double cream in the bowl.
- Sprinkle cinnamon powder.
- Mix well.
- Roll out the pastry to about 2 mm thickness and then lay it into a pie tray.
- Shape the edge by pushing it with the tongs of a fork.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture on the pasty.
- Bake for about 45 min.
- Let cool a little before enjoying this gorgeous treat!
