Directions
Make the filling first.
Cut the pumpkin into eighths, remove the seeds and stringy bits.
Place the pumpkin in a baking tray, cover with foil and bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes, until soft.
Meanwhile, make the pastry.
Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.
Stir in the wheatgerm or sesame seeds.
Blend in the oil until the pieces are the size of peas.
Add the water a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is moist.
Knead just enough to hold the dough together.
Divide the dough in half and roll into two balls, wrap in greaseproof paper and chill for 30 minutes.
Remove the pumpkin from the oven, peel it and puree in a food processor or blender.
Add the maple, syrup and tofu; blend until smooth.
Add the salt, spices and soya flour and mix well.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface, use to line two 20cm (Sin) flan tins and prick with a fork.
Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes.
Increase the temperature to 220°C/425°F/Gas mark 7.
Divide the filling between the pastry cases and bake for 45 minutes, until the filling is set.
