Subj : St. Boris 03b To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Sat May 01 2021 11:31:06 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Boris Portnoy's Pumpkin Pie - 2 Categories: Pies, Squash, Nuts, Citrus, Herbs Yield: 6 Servings DIRECTIONS CONTINUE FOR THE SPICE MIX: Place the cinnamon stick, star anise, cloves, coriander, juniper berries, Sichuan peppercorns, and cardamom seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat and toast, shaking the pan occasionally, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Let cool completely. Transfer to a spice or coffee grinder and grind into a fine powder. Place in a small bowl, add the ground ginger and citrus peels, and stir to combine; set aside. FOR THE PUMPKIN FILLING: Set the oven @ 350+|F/175+|C and arrange a rack in the middle. Place the eggs in a large bowl and whisk until the yolks are broken up. Add the condensed milk, 2 cups of the pumpkin pur++e, and 2 3/4 teaspoons of the spice mix and whisk until smooth. (Store the remaining spice mix in an airtight container in the freezer.) Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake until the filling is set in the middle and the edges are puffed, about 50 to 60 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature. Meanwhile, make the walnut-brown sugar topping. FOR THE WALNUT-BROWN SUGAR TOPPING: Set the oven @ 350+|F/175+|C and arrange a rack in the middle. Place the brown sugar, flour, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until reduced to pea-size pieces. Add the walnuts and toss with your fingers to combine. Squeeze clumps of the mixture between your fingers to form irregularly shaped pieces about the size of a cashew. Turn the mixture out onto a baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and the nuts are toasted, about 8 minutes. Place the pan on a rack and scrape up the streusel from the pan with a flat spatula, then spread again into an even layer. Cool completely and sprinkle evenly over the pie. NOTE: This recipe makes enough pie dough for 2 pie crusts and 1/2 cup of the spice mix. Wrap the extra dough tightly in plastic wrap, store the spice mix in an airtight container, and freeze both for up to 1 month.
