Pumpkin pie: a must-have dessert for Halloween

Pumpkin pie: a must-have dessert for Halloween

Introduction:

"Every year on Halloween, my daughter will make an appointment with her friends, dress up strangely, carry pumpkin lanterns, and go to the neighborhood to make trouble. Every year, in addition to a bag of sugar and snacks, they get more happiness from absurdity. The reason why I encourage her to go to this western festival which can't compete with us is not to cross the ocean, but to give her more opportunities to open up. In fact, my daughter is very good. She usually lives in school. Because the school is far away, there are no classmates in the community, so she stays at home when she comes back at the weekend. Her two-day time is full of extracurricular classes, such as piano, English, art and tennis. Apart from class, homework, surfing the Internet and reading extracurricular books, she has almost never played crazily outdoors. I remember the first time she had a Halloween for herself. All the information about this festival was seen on the Internet. She thought it was very interesting and longed for it. Finally, on October 31, there was no movement in the community or on the street. I told her that it was a western festival, but in China. She said that everyone has Christmas. I said that Christmas has been internationalized. If you think we can have it, we can have it every day as long as you want. So we went to buy a black hat with a skull on it. She wore one of my coats. I carved her a jack-o-lantern and took her little hand around the street

Production steps:

Step 1: prepare the ingredients, cut the pumpkin into pieces, steam and cool it. Butter softens at room temperature.

Step 2: make the pie skin first: sift through low flour and 15g sugar; add softened butter.

Step 3: rub it into rough powder by hand.

The fourth step: mix the yolk and salt in the cold water of 25g, add it to the dregs and add the liquid side.

Step 5: knead it into a ball, wrap it with fresh-keeping film and put it in the refrigerator to relax at low temperature for more than 4 hours.

Step 6: soak coconut silk in milk to make coconut milk for use.

Step 7: mash the peeled pumpkin and add 45g sugar.

Step 8: mix pumpkin puree with coconut milk and eggs to make a thick filling.

Step 9: apply a layer of butter on the mold (6-inch chrysanthemum mold) to prevent sticking, roll the pie dough into a large piece of 0.5cm, spread it on the mold, press the dough with hand gently to stick to the mold, and then roll over with a rolling pin to remove the excess dough.

Step 10: prick small eyes at the bottom with a fork to prevent blistering. Relax for a few minutes.

Step 11: roll the extra pie skin into 0.3cm pieces and cut into strips.

Step 12: pour pumpkin coconut paste stuffing into the flabby pie skin. The surface is decorated with noodles. Preheat the oven at 200 ℃, heat the middle and lower layers for 10 minutes, brush the egg liquid, turn 170 ℃ for 25-30 minutes.

Step 13: Pumpkin fragrance combined with coconut milk fragrance, crispy pie skin with soft invagination, coconut fiber to increase the taste level.

Materials required:

Low gluten flour: 100g

Pumpkin puree: 125g

Milk: 125ml

Butter: 50g

Egg yolk: 1

White granulated sugar: 1530g

Coconut: 25g

Egg: 1

Salt: 1g

Note: 1, the water content and sugar content of pumpkin, due to different varieties, I prefer to use Hainan long pumpkin, very sweet, but the water content is higher. There is a round gourd with low sugar content and water content, which is better than noodles. 2. When making pie skin, it is necessary to keep the temperature low. If it is in summer, it is recommended to separate ice water and noodles. Even hands should be kept as cold as possible, because the gluten in flour is strong when meeting high temperature, and the low temperature is loose. In step 4, do not stir too much to prevent flour from gluten, and send it into the refrigerator as soon as the dough is formed.
