Method

For allergens, see ingredients in bold.

  1. Add the butter to the flour and tickle it altogether until all the lumps have disappeared and the mixture looks like breadcrumbs

  2. Measure 3-4 dsp cold water, a spoon at a time, into the bowl as you may not need it all. Mix until it all comes together. Finish it off with your hands

  3. Tip the pastry out onto the floured surface and shape into a smooth ball. Roll out using a rolling pin. Keep turning the pastry so you make a large circle. Use a 24 cm plate to check the circle is big enough, then cut around the plate. Put the pastry into a lightly oiled 18cm pie dish and gently press down all the way round to fit. Go around the edge of the rim pinching to make a pretty edge

  4. Prick the base of the pastry with a fork, then press a piece of grease proof paper on top. Scrunch up 4 pieces of foil and put these on top of greaseproof, this will help stop the pastry from puffing up when cooking. Put in a fridge for 15 mins. This will help stop the pastry from shrinking in the oven

  5. Add the melted butter and buttermilk into a bowl of the sugar. Mix

  6. Break the egg into a mug, check for shell and then wipe your hands. Whisk with a fork and add the egg to the mixing bowl. Mix well

  7. Ask a grown up to put the pastry case in the oven for 15 mins at 160掳C. Take out the foil and greaseproof paper and put to one side to cool

  8. Add the pumpkin puree to the sugar mixture. Then add the flour and the spices and mix everything well

  9. Spoon the pumpkin puree mixture into cooked and cooled pastry case

  10. Ask a grown up to put the pie back in the oven at 170掳C for 40 mins. Leave to cool for at least an hour before serving
