About

I couldn’t leave the pumpkin pie out, could I? This lovely pie includes a pinch of spice and has lots of creamy texture. It goes well with ice cream or some whipped cream! It’s a must in my humble opinion.

Ingredients

For the Pastry

250 g (9 oz/2 cups) plain (all-purpose) flour

Vegan
Pie

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C 350°F/gas 4). Grease a cake or pie pan (with a removable base so the pie will come out easily) with some butter.
