Pumpkin Pie

A delicious and traditional way of making pumpkin pie...

Ingredients

• 1 pumpkin for pies (green)
• 1 kg flour
• 0.5 L water
• 1 glass of cooking oil
• 1 glass of melted butter
• 1 glass of cream
• 1 glass of sugar

Preparation

The dough consisting of flour, water and 1 tablespoon of salt is separated in 15 pieces. The pieces are flattened to fit the size of the baking pan. The flattened pieces are put on top of each other to create one single patty. The patty is then widened a bit more, expanding 10 centimeters more than the size of the baking pan. First, the baking pan must be covered with a bit of butter or margarine. After that the dough patty is put on the baking pan.

Before you put the green pumpin on top of the patty you need to prepare it. You need to scrape the pumpkin with a tablespoon and then grind it. After that, the pumpkin needs to be left to drain for a while and then you ca mix it with sugar and a little bit of salt (varying from personal preferences). Finally the pumpkin is put on the patty, the edges of which will cover most of the pumpkin but will leave some in the middle uncovered.

The pumpkin pie is usually served with fried peppers or with cold milk.
