If your household is not very fond of pumpkin, then you should definitely try this recipe. The pie turns out to be very tender, aromatic and, most importantly, healthy. Your loved ones will surely like this amazingly tasting cake. Unlike traditional fluffy pies, pumpkin pie contains little flour. But it has plenty of delicious sweet filling.
To make pumpkin pie, you will need about 200-300 grams of pumpkin. It needs to be peeled, then grated on a medium or fine grater and sprinkled with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar. Leave the resulting mixture for a few minutes, until the juice appears.
Pumpkin, like all vegetables and fruits, has many varieties that differ in shape, softness, taste and color. For the preparation of pumpkin pie, it is advisable to choose a pumpkin with soft pulp and without veins.
Next, take 3 eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the whites and beat well until a strong foam forms. To do this, you can use a whisk or any suitable kitchen item, as well as a mixer. Then add 150 grams of soft butter to the whipped egg whites. Note that the higher the fat percentage of the oil, the better.
Then, adding 80 grams of sour cream, beat this whole mixture with a mixer and add 150 grams of sifted flour and about 1 tablespoon of baking powder to the mass. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
So, the pumpkin was infused, soaked in sugar and let in the juice, then it should be squeezed out, so that in the future, due to the too juicy filling, the pie does not lose its integrity. Add the squeezed pumpkin to the cooked dough and mix thoroughly. After the resulting dough, pour into the mold, previously greased with butter. Place the cake in an oven preheated to 200 ° C and leave to bake. After about 40 minutes, remove the cake from the oven and let cool completely.
Make sure to cool the pumpkin pie before cutting it. Otherwise, it will lose its shape, and its dignity - height and airiness.
The last stage in the preparation of this aromatic and tasty cake is as follows: you need to mix pumpkin juice with 60-80 ml of milk, add 50 grams of butter and a little sugar, about 3 tablespoons. After chopping a handful of nuts, they may be different. Choose at your own discretion, but walnuts will provide a good flavor to the pie. Add them to the pumpkin syrup and put on high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Then pour the resulting aromatic syrup over the chilled pie and start tasting. The pie goes well with any drink: black or green tea, coffee and even cocoa.
