14 2008-07-24T00:01:14+01:00 A sweet treat made form the inside of your spooky pumpkin! 74 * [[275g]] plain [[flour]] * A pinch of [[salt]] * [[125g]] unsalted [[butter]], chilled and cut into small cubes * About 10 tablespoons of cold water * 1 whole pumpkin * 2 [[eggs]] * [[100g]] caster [[sugar|suagar and syrups]] * 2 teaspoons ground [[cinnamon]] * Pinch of nutmeg * 25g sunflower seeds # First make the pastry. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the butter and gently rub into the flour until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add enough water to make dough and form into a smooth ball. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for an hour. # When the pastry has relaxed, roll it out on a lightly floured board to ¾ mm thick and line a 20cm loose bottomed fluted flan ring. # Cover the pastry with baking paper and fill with baking beans. Cook blind on a baking sheet in the oven set at gas mark 4/180C/350F for about 12 minutes, then carefully remove the beans and the paper and return the case to the oven and cook for a further 5 minutes. # Meanwhile, prepare the filling using the flesh scooped out from the pumpkin. Steam the flesh for 15-20 minutes, drain and then mash. Leave to cool and then beat the eggs together with the sugar and stir into the pumpkin mixture. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg. # Pour the filling into the pastry case, sprinkle the seeds on top and bake in the oven set at gas 5/190C/375F for about 45 minutes until the filling has set.
