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 390°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 420°F (about 420 degrees Fahrenheit) for 15 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 355°F (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Allow the finished pie to cool completely.
