Mom’s Pumpkin Pie
This was my moms favorite pie. She made one every thanksgiving. This is my take on moms Pumpkin Pie. I change it up a bit by adding vanilla.
Mom’s Pumpkin Pie:
1 1/4 cups pumpkin puree, canned or fresh
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup evaporated milk, undiluted
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked pastry shell (9-inch)
Combine pumpkin, sugar, spices, and flour in a medium mixing bowl. Add eggs; mix well. Add evaporated milk, and vanilla; mix well. Pour into pastry-lined pie pan. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350° and bake about 35 minutes longer, or until center is set.
Serve with plenty of whipped cream.
Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours.
Hope to see ya’ll soon.
