Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat up the oven to 350F.

2. Pour milk and water into a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and gradually add gluten-flour and cook for about 2 minutes stirring constantly.

3. Transfer flour mixture into a mixing bowl and add pumpkin puree, ricotta, the egg yolks, vanilla extract and honey. Mix all the ingredients well.

4. Whisk the remaining 2 egg whites until thick foam forms. Gently mix the egg whites into the pumpkin mixture.

5. Grease large (about 10 inch diameter) baking pan slightly, and pour in the mixture. Sprinkle with pumpkin seeds on top.

6. Bake for about 30 minutes, checking until the pie starts to brown. (Baking time may vary depending on how thick the pie is).

7. Once baked, let it cool for at least an hour and using a pastry brush, spread some more liquid honey on top.
