Pumpkin is one of the representative delicacies of autumn, and its soft texture and rich taste always evoke people's yearning for warmth and comfort. As a classic way to make pumpkin, pumpkin pie is deeply loved by the majority of food lovers. Today I'm going to share a simple and easy-to-make pumpkin pie recipe that costs less than 3 yuan, and at the same time guarantees that it won't harden when it's cold.
First of all, we need to prepare the following ingredients: pumpkin, flour, sugar, and cooking oil. Pumpkin is the main ingredient in making pumpkin pie, which can be purchased fresh from the market or made from leftover pumpkins at home. Flour can be used as regular flour, and white sugar is used to increase sweetness. As for the cooking oil, we can choose vegetable oil or olive oil to increase the aroma of the pumpkin pie.
First, the pumpkin is cut into cubes, peeled and seeded, and then placed in a steamer to steam. The steamed pumpkin cubes are pureed with a spoon, then add an appropriate amount of sugar and stir well. Depending on your taste, you can increase or decrease the amount of sugar.
Next, pour the flour into the pumpkin puree and stir to combine. According to the humidity of the pumpkin puree, the amount of flour can be increased or decreased appropriately to make the batter have a moderate consistency. During the mixing process, a small amount of cooking oil can be gradually added to increase the aroma and taste of the pumpkin pie. Stir until the batter is free of granular matter, cover with plastic wrap and let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the batter to expand well.
While waiting, remove a saucepan, add an appropriate amount of oil, and preheat over medium-low heat. When the oil is hot, take an appropriate amount of pumpkin batter and put it in a pan and gently spread it with a spoon to form a round pancake shape. Wait for the bottom side to fry until golden brown, then flip and fry until the other side is also golden brown, then remove.
Once the pumpkin pie is made, we can mix it with other ingredients according to our personal preferences. For example, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or black sesame seeds on top of the pumpkin pie to add layers to the texture. Alternatively, you can choose to add some chopped walnuts for an extra crunchy texture. Of course, if you have a sweet tooth, you can also add some extra honey or maple syrup to make the pumpkin pie even sweeter.
Finally, in order to keep the soft texture of the pumpkin pie and not harden even if it is cold, we can keep it in an airtight container that is protected from moisture. If you need to store it longer, you can put the pumpkin pie in the refrigerator to refrigerate.
