Steps:
- Make the Pastry:.
- In food processor, combine the flour with the sugar and salt. Add the pieces of cold butter and pulse until they resemble small peas. Add the ice water and pulse just until the dough is slightly moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it serveral times, until it comes together. Flatten the dough into a flat circle, wrap it in plastic and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350*F. Butter a 9"x13" glass baking dish. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry to an 11"x15" rectangle, about 1/8" thick. Trim the pastry to a 10"x14" rectangle. Roll the pastry around the rolling pin and carefully unroll it in prepared baking dish, easing it into the corners. Line the pastry with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans. Bake the pastry for 20 minutes, or until it is lightly browned and just set. Remove the foil and beans. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes longer, until the pastry is cooked through but not browned.
- Make the filling:.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the light brown sugar, cinnamon and pumpkin-pie spice. Add the pumpkin puree and whisk until smooth. Whisk in evaporated milk until the filling is blended. Pour the filling into the prebaked crust and smooth the surface. Bake for about 20 minutes, until the filling is set around the edges but very wiggly in the center.
- Make the Topping:.
- In a medium bowl, toss the walnuts with the flour and brown sugar. Add the butter and stir until combined. Drop tablespoons of the topping onto the partially baked pumpkin layer. Bake about 20 minutes longer, until the topping is sizzling and golden and the pumpkin filling is just barely wiggly in the center. Let it cool completely, and cut into 16 bars. Enjoy!
- Note: the bars can be refrigerated up to 3 days.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you avoid any delays or hassles during the process.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your pumpkin and walnut squares. Use fresh pumpkin purée, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality walnuts.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can result in tough, dense squares. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the squares are cooked through but not overcooked.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help prevent them from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin and walnut squares are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dessert. They are also a great way to use up leftover pumpkin purée. With their moist, flavorful crumb and crunchy walnut topping, these squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack or dessert, give these pumpkin and walnut squares a try. You won't be disappointed!
