Pie Pastry

Ingredients

• 1 cup plain flour
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 150 g butter
• 1 egg
• 2 tbs caster sugar

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 200C. Sift the flours with salt into a bowl, then rub in butter.
2. Beat the egg with sugar and add to the flour and mix quickly by hand into a dough. Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth.
3. Roll out ¾ of the pastry to fit a 20 cm pie plate. Fill the pastry-lined pie plate with the pumpkin mixture.
4. Wet the edges then roll out remaining pastry and place on top of the pie, trimming away any excess and press edges to seal with a fork.
5. Brush with milk and sprinkle with a little extra sugar. Bake for approximately one hour or until golden and filling is cooked through.
