Contributed by: News Canada Recipe Box: It's time for pumpkin pie (NC) - It's the cream in this pumpkin pie that makes it unforgettable. Gay Lea cleverly blends 18% cream with a touch of sour cream and then garnishes the finished masterpiece with decorative dollops of fresh, aerosol whipped cream. Start the pie by making a buttery, melt-in-your mouth flaky pastry, as follows: Ingredients:
Directions: In bowl of food processor, pulse together flour and salt to aerate. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few larger pieces, about the size of peas. In wet measure, stir together ice water and vinegar. Pour in water mixture; pulse briefly, adding up to 1 tbsp (15 mL) more water if mixture looks too dry. Pulse until mixture is thoroughly moistened but not in a ball. Dump mixture out onto work surface. Knead lightly to bring together into a ball; flatten into disc. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 3 days. Makes enough for one 9-inch single crust pie. Pie Shell: Roll out pastry and fit into 9-inch (23 cm) pie plate. Trim pastry, leaving 1-inch (2.5 cm) overhang; fold under and flute edge. With tines of fork, prick shell all over; line with foil or parchment paper. Cover foil evenly with pie weights or dried beans. Bake on lowest rack in 400F (200C) oven for 15 minutes. Lift out weights; bake for another 10 minutes or until pastry is set. Filling: In large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and salt. In separate bowl, whisk together eggs, cream and sour cream; slowly whisk into pumpkin mixture until well blended. Pour into baked pie shell. Bake on lowest rack in 350F (180C) oven for about 1 hour or until knife inserted in centre comes out clean. Let cool on rack. Decorate edges of pie with Gay Lea whipped cream.
