Ingredients

Glazing

• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1⁄2 teaspoon demerara sugar, for sprinkling
• For Filling:
• 1 kg (2 lb 4 oz) pumpkin, peeled, seeds removed, and chopped into chunks
• 350 g (12 oz) carrots, chopped into chunks
• 1⁄3 cup (65 g) raw sugar
• 1⁄4 cup (60 ml) lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon golden syrup
• 1 tablespoon sultanas
• 1⁄2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon mixed spice
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon

Pastry

• 1 cup (150 g) wholemeal (whole wheat) plain flour
• 1 cup (150 g) self-raising flour
• Pinch of sea salt flakes
• 2⁄3 cup (160 g) cold salted butter, cubed
• 1 egg
• 2 tablespoons caster (superfine) sugar
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Optional

• Nakedness and warmed cream

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) conventional.
2. Steam the pumpkin and carrots for 15 minutes or until tender.
3. Blend the pumpkin, carrots, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, golden syrup, sultanas, nutmeg, mixed spice, and cinnamon in a food processor until smooth.
4. For the pie pastry, blend all the pastry ingredients in a food processor until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Then knead it together on a lightly floured surface to form a pastry dough.
5. Cut off a quarter of the pastry and set it aside. Roll out three-quarters of the pastry into a circle until it's 5 mm thick, then press it into a greased 24 cm (9½ inch) shallow pie tin.
6. Fill the pastry case with the pumpkin mixture and level it out. Brush the edges with milk.
7. Roll out the remaining quarter of the pastry and place it on top of the pie. Use the back of a spoon to press the edges to seal. Decorate the pie with leftover scraps of dough as desired.
8. Brush the pie lid with more milk and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
9. Bake for approximately 1 hour, or until golden.
10. Allow the pie to cool down to warm before serving. It has a crumbly and comforting texture—embrace it for a delightful experience.
