Mini pumpkin pies are easier than the full-size version, and perfect for kids to make. Baked in a muffin tin, they're just the thing to take to your Halloween party.
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease muffin tin. Place all the ingredients for the pastry in a blender and process until the mixture forms breadcrumbs. Add enough water (about ¼ cup) and process until the mixture comes together to form a soft dough.
2 Remove from the processor and roll out pastry as thinly as possible on a piece of greaseproof paper. Use the cutter to cut out 16 rounds (the pastry can be re-rolled). Place the rounds in the muffin tin. Use a fork to prick the bases.
3 Place the purée in a large mixing bowl. Stir in spices. Beat eggs together with the milk and sugar, and add to the purée.
4 Spoon the mix between the pastry cases (for leftover filling, see tip). Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and firm to touch. Leave to cool before removing from the tin. Once cold, serve plain with a few Halloween props, such as toy spiders, or sprinkle with a little icing sugar.
Make it gluten free: Use gluten-free flour, and check spices and icing sugar are gluten free.
