Pumpkin pie

Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C. Spray a 4.5cm-deep, 23cm pie plate with oil. Process the flour, sugar and butter in a food processor until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the water. Process until the mixture just comes together.

Step 2

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured sheet of baking paper and roll to a 4mm-thick disc. Line the base and side of the dish with pastry and trim any excess. Pinch edges to crimp. Place in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to rest.

Step 3

Line the pastry case with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or rice. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove paper and weights or rice and bake for a further 10 minutes or until light golden. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 4

Combine the pumpkin, maple syrup, cream, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger in a bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour over the pastry. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until just set. Set aside to cool completely.

Step 5

Dust the pie with icing sugar. Cut into wedges and serve with double cream.
