Pumpkin Pie
- 2 cups flour
- 7 3/8 tablespoons coconut oil plus extra to grease
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 egg yolk
- 4 medium eggs
- 2 tablespoons fruit vinegar
- 1 pound pumpkin flesh skinless and seedless, chopped
- 7 tablespoons double cream
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch ground cloves
- 1 pinch ginger
- 1 pinch nutmeg
- dill seeds to garnish
- Rub the flour and coconut oil together then mix in the salt and sugar. Add 1 egg and mix well then knead until smooth, gradually adding the vinegar and 3-4 tbsp cold water. Try not to let the dough warm up too much. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
- Place the pumpkin and 1/2 cup water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Remove 2 tbsp pumpkin after 5 mins of cooking and continue to cook the rest cook for a further 10 mins. Drain the excess liquid.
- Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F. Mix the heavy cream, milk and brown sugar together then stir in the cinnamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg and 3 eggs. Thoroughly mix in the stewed pumpkin.
- Grease a 10 inch round pie pan with coconut oil. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to make a circle large enough to fit in the pan, then lay it inside. Press down gently. Trim away any excess and use this to make pastry decorations for the top. Beat 1 egg yolk and brush over the pastry. Bake for 15-20 mins.
- Increase the oven temperature to 400u0b0F. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pastry and add the pumpkin pieces. Bake for 50 mins to 1 hour. Top with the pastry decorations and bake for 5-10 mins, depending on their size. Remove from the oven and garnish with pumpkin seeds and dill. Serve.
