minutesThere is perhaps no better way to put the sandy texture of graham flour to work than in a pumpkin pie, which needs a particularly crumbly crust to compliment its velvety smooth filling. Better yet, graham flour is packed full of rich flavor and nutrients, so you won’t have to feel so guilty after eating this dessert.
Ingredients
- For crust…
150g (1 cup) Maine Grains Graham Flour
75g (2/3 cup) Maine Grains Pastry Flour
35g (3 tablespoons) dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
113g (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, chilled
- For filling…
1 (15 oz) can pumpkin puree
1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk
165g (3/4 cup, pressed) dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
Directions
- For crust…
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter the bottom and sides of a 9”x13” baking dish then line with parchment paper, leaving a couple inches of overhang on each side. Set aside.
- Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until an even consistency is achieved and no lumps of sugar remain.
- Grate the butter into the flour mixture using the large holes of a cheese grater. Run the food processor until a crumbly dough forms.
- Pour the crumbles into the prepared baking dish and press into an even layer. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Remove from the oven and set aside while you prepare the filling.
- For filling…
- Combine the sugar, eggs, and pumpkin pie spice in a large mixing bowl. Add the pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, salt, and vanilla extract. Whisk to combine. Pour over the pre-baked crust and spread into an even layer.
- Bake until set (30-40 mins). Let cool for 1 hour before serving.
