Pumpkin & Meringue Pie 🎃🥧

Pastry
1 ¼ cups (155g) flour
½ cup (115g) cold butter, cubed
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 egg
¼ tsp salt
3–4 tbsp ice water

Pumpkin Filling
425g pumpkin purée
¾ cup (150g) brown sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (250ml) cream
1 tsp vanilla
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
½ tsp ginger
¼ tsp cloves
Pinch of salt

Swiss Meringue
3 egg whites (about 100g)
200g caster sugar

HOW TO MAKE IT

Pastry: Rub flour, sugar and salt with the cold butter until you have crumbs. Add the egg and enough ice water to bring the dough together. Chill for 30 minutes.

Roll out, line a 23cm pie dish and chill for another 15 minutes. Blind bake at 180°C for 15 minutes, remove the weights and bake for another 5–7 minutes.

Filling: Whisk together the pumpkin, brown sugar, eggs, cream, vanilla and spices. Pour into the pastry and bake at 180°C for 45–50 minutes, or until just set. Allow to cool completely.

Swiss Meringue: Place the egg whites and sugar in a heatproof bowl over a pot of gently simmering water. Whisk until the sugar has completely dissolved and the mixture reaches around 70–72°C. Remove from the heat and whip until thick, glossy and stiff peaks form.

Pile the meringue over the cooled pie and torch until golden

Whenever Fraser’s feeling a little down, we bake.
Turns out a wagging tail is pretty good proof that baking solves everything.
