Clean a marble slab well and moisten it with water. Set four steel bars on the slab in the shape of a square to hold the hot syrup when it is poured onto the marble. Combine the sugar and water in a heavy kettle and heat to dissolve the sugar. Boil until the temperature reaches 105°C.(If glucose is used, warm it. If cream of tartar is used, disperse it in a little warm water). Add the glucose or the cream of tartar to the boiling syrup. Continue to boil the syrup until it reaches 115°). Pour the boiling syrup onto the marble slab and sprinkle it with a little cold water to prevent crystallization. Let the syrup cool undisturbed to about 43°C. Remove the steel bars and work the sugar with a steel scraper, turning it from the outside to the center. (It will turn white and begin to solidify). Continue to work the fondant, either by hand or by putting it in a mixing bowl and working it slowly with the paddle attachment, until it is smooth and creamy. Keep the fondant in a tightly covered container.

In a heavy saucepan or kettle, dissolve the sugar in the milk and bring just to a boil. With a whip, beat the egg yolks and whole eggs in a stainless-steel bowl. Sift the starch and sugar into the eggs. Beat with the whip until perfectly smooth. Temper the egg mixture by slowly beating in the hot milk in a thin stream. Return the mixture to the heat and bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. When the mixture comes to a boil and thickens, remove it from the heat. Stir in the butter and vanilla. Mix until the butter is melted and completely blended in. Pour into baked, cooled pie shells. Cool, then keep chilled. Chilled pies may be decorated with whipped cream, using a pastry bag with a star tube.

Place the pumpkin in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whip attachment. Sift together the flour, spices, and salt. Add the flour mixture and sugar to the pumpkin. Mix at second speed until smooth and well blended. Add the eggs and mix in. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Turn the machine to low speed. Gradually pour in the syrup, then the milk. Mix until evenly blended. Let the filling stand for 30–60 minutes. Stir the filling to remix. Fill the pie shells. Bake at 230°C for 15 minutes. Lower heat to 175°C and bake until set, about 30–40 minutes more. note: Pumpkin pie filling should be allowed to stand at least 30 minutes before being poured into the pie shells.This gives the pumpkin time to absorb the liquid and makes a smoother filling that is less likely to separate after baking. If the filling is to stand for much more than an hour, do not add the eggs until the pies are to be filled. If the eggs are added earlier, the acidity of the pumpkin and brown sugar may partially coagulate the eggs.
