AMERICAN PUMPKIN PIE
A very traditional American Pie! I use a slightly sweet crust with shortening, but this works well with a store-bought or any kind of flaky pastry crust of your liking. Spices are to my American liking; adjust as desired. Uses a 25cm (9-inch, Unfluted Pie Dish.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 220C.
- Prepare the crust: Combine the flour, salt and sugar. Cut the fat(s) into the flour mixture until the fat bits resemble peas in size. One Tablespoon at a time, sprinkle the water on the flour/ fat mixture, mixing with a fork each time until combined. Roll into a ball and set aside for 15 minutes.
- As the crust is resting, prepare the filling: Beat egg and yolks until smooth. Add remaining ingredients.
- When crust is ready, roll out on a well-floured surface so the crust is 1-2 cm larger than the pie pan. Transfer the crust to the dish, folding up the edges and crimping (or using whatever crust finishing method you prefer).
- Pour filling into dish and bake for 15 minutes. Turn down to 165c and cover exposed crust with foil or crust guards and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes or until a knife, when inserted 2cm from edge, comes out clean.
