I had to go there to replace the dulce de leche which I got from @amir. They have tinned pumpkin and panko crumbs and all kinds of great stuff. I think I used the recipe on the back of the tin combined with <a href="http://www.channel4.com/4food/recipes/chefs/hugh-fearnley-whittingstall/tourte-de-blettes-recipe">Hugh's pastry recipe</a> and it turned out really well:</p> <p>300g plain flour<br /> 50g icing sugar<br /> Pinch of fine sea salt<br /> 175g chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes<br /> 1 large egg yolk<br /> About 75ml cold milk (or water)<br /> A little milk or beaten egg, for brushing</p> <p>Put the flour, icing sugar and salt in a food processor and blitz briefly to combine (or sift into a bowl). Add the butter and blitz (or rub in with your fingertips) until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk, and enough milk or water to bring the dough together in large clumps. Tip out on to a lightly floured surface and knead lightly into a ball. Wrap and chill for 30 minutes.</p> <p>30 mins @ 200 degrees. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11380#post-128849 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:20:24 +0000 gembo 128849@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@SRD this forum is gender blind, which is quite cool, but if I didn't know you I would think that you are a girl.? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11380#post-128843 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:11:08 +0000 SRD 128843@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>pastry making is easy. no need to buy. </p> <p>this pumpkin pie filling recipe probably as good as any other other. <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pumpkinpie_70659" rel="nofollow">http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/pumpkinpie_70659</a></p> <p>the sieving is important. </p> <p>the more usual recipe involves evaporated milk and granulated sugar. butternut squash or sweet potato can be substituted for pumpkin, but will have less need for sieving. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11380#post-128841 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 21:06:32 +0000 gembo 128841@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Ross you will be able to make a very good pie by using a jus-rol sheet of short crust pastry and a pumpkin pie filling.</p> <p>I make a potato and olive pie the other week using the jus rol sheet of short crust. Much potato, green olives. Kids will eat. More of a flan, as did not go with pastry on top. So, you could buy a pumpkin and scoop out the flesh, fry it with your favourite flavouring, I say garlic, blend if you want then bake.</p> <p>Now first of all, bake the pastry for say 15 minutes. You should lay the pastry in a tray. If the tray Is oblong you won't need to faff. Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Next, distribute a lot of dried peas or other pulse all over the pastry. This is called baking blind. I do not know why. After about fifteen minutes, or before you burn the stuff, remove the tray from oven, probably about 200 degrees C. Get rid of the dried peas. Keep them for the next time. Add the pumpkin filling. Stick it back in oven, probabaly 30 mins, watch for burning, then you will have girlfriend impressing pie/flann </p> <p>I am trying to make this simple as I am sensing younare possibly pre contemplative on the baking?</p> <p>The genius of jus rol sheets or sainsburys replicas is that they have done the tricky bit ie making the pastry IMO </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11380#post-128837 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 20:33:11 +0000 SRD 128837@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>will try to do so. but you might want to just get a tin from lupe pintos (nr Kings junction). has recipe on it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=11380#post-128835 Thu, 17 Oct 2013 19:42:29 +0000 rosscbrown 128835@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Oh SRD, I'd love a recipe, please. </p> <p>Went to M&amp;S today to see if they carried such a pie.

I, of course, promised her pumpkin pie before checking the availability of said pie. And now I'm panicking.</p> <p>I could probably make a pumpkin pie but my kitchen is not really set up for baking and nor are my culinary skills.</p> <p>Where would you find pumpkin pie in Edinburgh? </p>
