TRY THIS AWESOME CHEF WAN PUMPKIN PIE - CUBA INI PIE LABU CHEF WAN - SEDAP!!!!!!!!

This pumpkin pie is lovely for tea. I love the crumbly texture of the pie..and the creamy taste of the filling. I saw the recipe in Chef Wan's cook book. I adapted the Pie filling recipe from Chef Wan and the Pie Crust from joyofbaking.com. Combination of both are really marvelous. I made one batch of this pie and it finished within a few minutes. My children love this pie so much. There's a second order for this pie again and most likelihood I will have to bake another batch over the weekend. This is another recipe that you got to give a try.

Chef Wan Pumpkin Pie

For The Pie Crust

1 1/4 cups flour

½ tsp salt

1 tbsp granulated white sugar

½ cup unsalted butter cut into pieces

30-60 ml ice water

COMBINE flour and salt in medium bowl; cut in vegetable shortening with pastry blender or two knives until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle with water; blend until mixture holds together.

Turn the dough onto your work surface and gather into a ball. Flatten into a disk, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes to one hour before using. This will chill the butter and relax the gluten in the flour. After the dough has chilled sufficiently, place on a lightly floured surface, and roll into a 13 inch (33 cm) circle. (To prevent the pastry from sticking to the counter and to ensure uniform thickness, keep lifting up and turning the pastry a quarter turn as you roll (always roll from the center of the pastry outwards).) Fold the dough in half and gently transfer to a 9 inch (23 cm) pie pan. Tuck the overhanging pastry under itself and use a fork to make a decorative border. Alternatively, you can trim the pastry to the edge of the pie pan. With the remaining pastry make decorative cut-outs (leaves, pumpkins, etc.) and with a little water, attach them around the lip of the pie pan. Refrigerate the pastry, covered with plastic wrap, for about 30 minutes.

 

For The pumpkin purée

Start with a small-medium sugar pumpkin, cut out the stem and scrape out the insides, discard (save the seeds, of course). Cut the pumpkin in half and lay cut side down on a rimmed baking sheet lined with silpat or aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F until fork tender, about an hour to an hour and a half. Remove from oven, let cool, scoop out the pulp. (Alternatively you can cut the pumpkin into sections and steam in a saucepan with a couple inches of water at the bottom, until soft.) If you want the pulp to be extra smooth, put it through a food mill or chinois.Read more:

Resipi yang cukup menarik dan sedap. Pie Labu dari Buku Masak Chef Wan. Saya olahkan sedikit dengan membuat kombinasi antara Chef Wan dan Joyofbaking. Kulitnya saya ambil resipi joyofbaking manakala intinya saya ambil dari resipi Chef Wan. Memang cukup menarik...ranggup kulitnya dan lemak inti..lebih mantap jika dimakan bersama fresh krim. Sesuai buat sajian petang. Anak-anak cukup menggemarinya dan rasanya hujung minggu ini kena buat lagi sebab ada permintaan dari anak-anak.
