Pumpkin pie
=========== 2024-11-11


Comment: can be made with a variety of squashes or with pumpkin. We have the choice between savory or sweet pie, here I choose a sweet version, but not too much. The sweet part is either brown sugar or maple syrup.

For a 26 cm pie mold, or for 3 to 4 people.

Ingredients:
------------

1 sweet pastry (see ./pate_brisee_e.html)
1+ kg of squash or squash or pumpkin (before preparation)
80 g of brown sugar or maple syrup
2 eggs
1 pinch of salt
2 dl 35% cream
1 slightly rounded tablespoon of flour
1 tsp of ground cinnamon
1 pinch (1/2 tsp) of ground ginger
a few grated nutmeg

Preparation:
------------

Make the dough, using an egg yolk.

Prepare the squash into 2 to 3 cm cubes. There should be 600+ g left
Cook in water until the squash is tender (~15 min).
Place in a colander, let cool and drain (~15 to 30 min).
In a bowl large enough to hold the squash, mix all the other ingredients well.
Puree the squash using a mixer (regular or a plunger), then add to a bowl.
Mix well.

Preheat the oven to 200C CT or 220C normal oven.

Line a pie plate, if possible with high sides.
Make holes in the bottom with a fork.
Add some ballast and precook for ~15 min.

Lower the oven to 180C CT or 200C normal.
Pour the mixture into the mold and bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
