I love making these at least once a week as they refrigerate really well and are delicious hot or cold. They are quick and easy to make and are perfect for the lunch box or even as a party snack. —Sandra Ramacher

Sounds good, but it's missing the "egg mixture". Probably just the number of eggs, but there's nothing to hold the pumpkin and leeks together.

It seems this website has some glitches in regards to leaving out ingredients. I have amended the recipe. Thank you for noticing

Somehow the cooking instructions line was left out even though I added it. Anyway, you oil a six hole deep muffin tin and then place in the oven at 180C/350F for about 30-40 minutes, until the pies feel firm to the touch.
