How to make pumpkin pie

As a vegetable, pumpkin can actually be eaten in many ways, such as pumpkin porridge, pumpkin stir-fry, and pumpkin cake. Because it can be eaten in different ways, it is easier to increase our appetite. The following is the specific method of making pumpkin cake.

1. Steps

1. Peel the old pumpkin, cut it into pieces, steam it until cooked, and then press it into pumpkin puree.

2. Beat an egg, add pumpkin puree and the beaten egg to a small cup of flour, stir evenly with chopsticks, then add water, add slowly, stirring while adding, until the batter becomes a thin paste and a spoonful of it can fall smoothly in a linear shape. Finally, add a small spoonful of sugar and stir evenly.

3. Take a frying pan (preferably a non-stick pan), cool it down, pour in cold oil, and swirl the oil in the pan so that the oil evenly covers the entire bottom of the pan. Then pour out the oil and pour the batter into the pan (be careful not to pour too much at once). Turn the pan with your hands to spread the batter in the pan and evenly spread it in a thin layer on the bottom of the pan without exposing the bottom.

4. Turn on low heat and heat for about one minute. After the dough is formed on one side of the pan, turn it over and heat for about one minute more. When both sides are formed, it is ready to be removed from the pan.

2. Tips

1. Try to mash the pumpkin puree as finely as possible so that the finished product tastes better.

2. Tips for turning the cake over without breaking it:

(1) The batter should not be too thin. It is better to make it slightly thinner than the tomato sauce we usually eat. Otherwise, it will be difficult to shape after putting it into the pan and it will break easily when turned over. [1]

(2) Don’t use too little batter. Although it is a thin pancake, it will break easily if it is too thin.

(3) Wait until the batter is completely solidified on one side of the pan before flipping it over. It will be easier to flip it over with the help of a flat spatula.
