Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 1 cup cooked pumpkin
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 whole eggs
- 2 tbsp flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ginger
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp pancake syrup
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1¼ cup milk
- 6 cup pastry flour
- 2 cup lard
- ½ tsp salt
- 12 oz Sprite
Mix the flour, lard and half teaspoon of salt by hand until it looks like crumbles, adding a little more flour if it already looks like a dough.
Mixing the crust
Add the Sprite and mix just until combined; do not overmix or too much gluten forms and the crust is less soft and flaky.
