Method
To make the pastry, beat the Pure Perfect Baking and sugar in a large bowl until just mixed. Break in a whole egg and one yolk, or all of the egg replacement. Beat together for just under 1 minute.
Work in the flour with a wooden spoon, a third at a time, until it begins to clump up, then finish by gathering it together with your hands.
Work to a ball, flatten and wrap in clingfilm. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 220°C, gas mark 7.
Roll out the pastry to line a 23cm (9 inch) deep flan tin. Chill for 20 minutes. Bake blind for 10-15 minutes. You will have pastry left over to make a fancy braid around the edge of the pie dish or make leaves etc.
Combine all the filling ingredients together and pour into the pastry case. Return the pie to the oven and bake for 35 minutes.
Allow to cool. Scatter the pumpkin seeds on top and dust with icing sugar if desired.
