Pumpkin is such a versatile vegetable that you can cook first courses from it, second dishes, pastries.
Pumpkin pies are not only healthy and tasty, but also look very appetizing. They turn out beautiful orange color.
The taste of pumpkin pie is a bit like carrot pastry, but with a stronger pumpkin flavor.
Pumpkin pie in the oven comes out lush and fragrant. But with the advent of the multicooker, many housewives cook pumpkin pie in it.
The advantage of the multicooker is that the program in it for baking cakes is already set, which means you do not need to worry about setting the desired temperature. The slow cooker will do everything by itself. But still, some nuances exist.
Subtleties
- Pumpkin is a very juicy vegetable. Therefore, adding it to the dough, you need to consider that during baking, it will give juice, and the dough will become thinner.
- Before putting the pumpkin in the dough, it is rubbed on a grater, ground in a blender or rubbed through a sieve (baked in the oven).
- The pomp of the cake depends on how well the eggs are beaten. If they are not whipped, pumpkin pie will look like casserole. He will not as high as we would like, and wet.
- If the pumpkin is rubbed on a medium grater, then the baked dough will come out light, slightly yellowish, and the pumpkin slices will be clearly visible. This cake turns porous, like a biscuit.
- Pumpkin chopped in a blender colors the cake in a bright color.
- For flavor, vanillin and cinnamon can be added to the dough. The taste of the cake will be much better if you put orange or lemon zest together with the pumpkin. Part of the pumpkin can be replaced with fragrant apples.
- There should not be a lot of pumpkin in the test, otherwise it will not allow the cake to rise well.
