Along with the turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and carrots came a homemade pumpkin pie this weekend. It was my first time whipping the pumpkin filling from scratch usually I would buy the pre-packed can of pumpkin pie filling however this time I bought a large can of pumpkin purée and did the rest. It was really easy and I can not see going back to those pre-packed cans again. The pastry I made was quite flaky which could be due to the fact that I used cake and pastry flour as opposed to unbleached all purpose flour. With a nice dollop of whip cream this pie was velvety smooth.
Hope everyone had a good weekend! - JW
