In our country it’s not really a tradition to celebrate Halloween, however over the past 10 years it has become common to go to a Halloween inspired party, where we don’t usually dress up in costumes. We do have our own special celebration at the end of winter, when it is traditional for people to dress up and for children to go trick-or-treating. However, more and more people are gettiing into the habbit of carving pumpkins and decorating their houses for Haloween, so perhaps in a few years time this will also become a tradition in our country.
Browsing through Pinterest and seeing all those delicious and different kinds of food made our mouth water, so we decided to try our best and bake a Halloween pumpkin pie. Since we’ve never had pumpkin pie before, we would’t even know if it’s good or bad. We found an easy recipe and started on our journey, with our trusty Nikon D7000 by our side.
First we needed some white flour.
We created a well in the flour and put in pieces of butter and some sugar.
I got my hands dirty and mixed it all together.
When it was ready, we put it in a plastic wrap and into the fridge for 60 minutes.
Meanwhile we prepared the pumpkin filling. We chopped the pumpkin into small pieces, added cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cloves, ginger, brown sugar, starch and milk.
When the hour was up, we put the dough onto the table and rolled it to fit the baking dish, spiked it with forkes and poured the filling in. We admit, it did not look appetizing at all.
We pre-heated the oven to 175 degrees Celsius and baked the pie for 60 minutes. After 20 minutes of baking, the entire room was filled with the most amazing aroma from the spices.
And voila, this is what we got from the oven!
Our friends, who had never tried this kind of a pie before, could not believe how tasty a pumpkin pie could be.
