Step 1

See Filling directions.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, stir flour with salt. Using your finger tips or pastry cutter, mix in Becel® Buttery Taste margarine just until large crumbs begin to form. Whisk water with yogurt and vinegar. While stirring flour mixture with a fork, gradually add just enough water mixture for dough to come together. Gather into a ball and place on a large piece of plastic wrap. Fold plastic wrap overtop, then use plastic to flatten dough into a disc. Seal with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk pumpkin with evaporated milk, egg, egg whites, sugar, vanilla, spices and salt until evenly blended.

Step 4

Set oven rack on bottom shelf of oven. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll dough between large pieces of plastic wrap to form a circle measuring about 12-inches (30 cm). Discard top piece of plastic and ease dough into pie plate. If dough is a little sticky, brush with flour. Trim dough so only ½-inch (1 cm) of dough overhangs pie plate. Then fold overhanging dough so it meets the edge of the pie plate. Crimp edges.

Step 5

Spoon in filling, smoothing surface. Bake for 15 minutes, then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue to bake for 20-30 minutes until centre of pie is just set when wiggled. Cool completely.

Step 6

Tip: Serve with vanilla yogurt or light sour cream sweetened with brown sugar and a splash of vanilla.
