So, I have been meaning to start posting more stuff about cooking. You know, that is a lot of my life now. Going to work, coming home, cooking dinner, watching some TV and then going to bed. Nothing really all that exciting. So, cooking is all I've got really. So, here is it is! Pumpkin pie from scratch!
(Recipe taken from the following website)
First, you need to get a pie pumpkin. This is very important as it is quite different from a carving pumpkin.
Then you should cut the pumpkin in half and scoop out the seeds. Also, save the seeds. They toast up and are much yummier than carving pumpkin seeds.
Too cook the pumpkin, add some water and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes. I did this in the microwave. If you use the cook top, it is supposed to take longer. Then cut off the rind and puree the pumpkin (I used an immersion blender). Then mix all the ingredients, also done with the immersion blender, and bake.
This recipe yielded a runnier batter than I expected and took WAY longer to bake. Also, I had too much batter and also make a pumpkin soufflé. But it was very good and I would go to the trouble of cooking it from scratch again. But maybe with a different recipe.
