Combine:
- Add in the flour, salt, sugar and butter in the mixing jar to combine.
Settings: Timer: 30 seconds / Speed: 5

You should have a mixture that resembles a coarse meal, with many butter pieces the size of peas.

3

Slowly add egg:
- Add egg into the mixing jar and press TURBO several times until the mixture just barely begins to clump together.

4

Shape the dough:
- Remove the dough from the mixing jar, press the dough a few times to flatten some of the butter for a more flaky crust.
- Shape into a ball, wrap it with he cling film and chill in refrigerate for 30 mins.

- Preheat the oven at 180°C / 356 °F

5

Roll the dough:
- Place the dough on a lightly floured, clean flat surface. Sprinkle some flour on top.
- Roll out the dough to a 12-inch circle.

6

Line a pie or tart pan:
- Carefully fold the dough in half, then transfer it to 9-10 inch (22-26cm) pie plate or tart pan, lining up the fold with the center of the pan.
- Gently unfold and press down to line the pie dish with the dough.
- With a pair of kitchen scissors or a knife, trim the overhanging dough to about 1/2 inch (1.3cm). Fold the overhang under along the edge of the pie dish. Crimp the edge of the pie crust, using your fingers in a pinching motion, or the tines of a fork.
- Bake at 180°C / 356 °F for 10 minutes
- Set aside

Tips:
. For 1 deep-dish pie, this will take 50 to 60 minutes more. For 2 shallow pies, bake for 35 to 45 minutes more
. The pumpkin pie will come out of the oven all puffed up (from the leavening of the eggs), and will deflate as it cools.
. About halfway through the baking, you may want to put foil around the edges or use a pie protector to keep the crust from getting too browned.
. You can leave cooled pumpkin pie on the counter for up to 4 hours, then wrap it tightly and move it to the fridge for up to 3 days. If possible, let it come to room temperature before serving.
. For longer storage, tightly wrap individual slices or a whole, cooled pie and freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost overnight in the fridge and let come to room temperature before serving.
