I found the old-fashioned recipe for the simplest, and the finest pumpkin pie, it has no match
When someone mentions you a pumpkin pie, the first association is probably Halloween or a typical American pumpkin pie. But people have been making pumpkin treats since ancient times and what’s finer in the fall than such a dessert?
I dug around the old cookbooks I had inherited from my great-grandmother and grandmother and found a very simple pumpkin pie recipe that lures saliva into my mouth. Well, without further ado, I think it’s time to get down to business.
Ingredients:
Dough
- 400 g flour
- 100 g of sugar
- 150 g butter
- 1 egg
- 3 tablespoons milk
Filling
- 500 g of diced pumpkin
- 100 g of sugar
- 120 g yogurt
- 2 eggs
- 2-3 tablespoons butter
- some cinnamon
Preparation:
- Mix the dough ingredients well, knead it and refrigerate for an hour.
- Meanwhile, cook the pumpkin until it is completely soft.
- Roll out the dough and put it into the pie mold you covered with butter and prick it with a fork.
- Mix the pumpkin with the other ingredients for the stuffing and pour it all over the dough. Bake for about half an hour at 180 ° C.

This looks delicious! I live in South Africa, and so pie is pretty much always of the sweet variety, and usually called tart, and mostly cold – LOL!
I have a thing for America, my greatest dream! – and I have tried for years to convince my children to be open just about the thought of pumpkin pie. Thus far, no such luck.
This recipe looks easy enough, so I have saved it (I hope you don’t mind). This Thanksgiving, although it isn’t celebrated in my country, and I am going to finally make Pumpkin Pie – and my children WILL taste it 😛
Thank you for sharing 🙂

I’ve never had a pumpkin pie, and I think you’re right that a lot of us will just associate it with Americans. I love the design and you can never go wrong with a family recipe!

You’re right, I do associate Pumpkin Pie with American traditions but that’s silly. I mean there’s no reason why we can’t enjoy it all year round. And this recipe looks lovely – kudos to your grandmother and thank you for sharing! Lisa x
