Pumpkin Pie

Cookinero 3 Apr 2025

Pumpkin is good not only as a decoration for Halloween, but also as a filling for a delicious pie. This dish probably does not have a single classic version: each family will cook it in its own way. Some add honey and cinnamon to the filling, others a handful of semolina - it all depends on preferences. The main thing is that in the end the dish will be liked even by those who are indifferent to pumpkin.
