Prep Time: 25 minutes

 

 

Ingredients

 

1 recipe Pastry for Single-Crust Pie (see below)

1 15-ounce can pumpkin

2/3 cup sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 slightly beaten eggs

1 5-ounce can (2/3 cup) evaporated milk

1/2 cup milk

 

Directions:

 

1. Prepare and roll out Pastry for Single-Crust Pie.

Line a 9-inch pie plate with the pastry. Trim to 1/2

inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra

pastry; crimp edge as desired.

2. For filling, in a mixing bowl combine pumpkin,

sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Add eggs. Beat

lightly with a rotary beater or fork just until

combined. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and milk;

mix well.

3. Place the pastry-lined pie plate on the oven rack.

Carefully pour filling into pastry shell.

4. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of the pie with

foil. Bake in a 375 degree F oven for 25 minutes.

Remove foil. Bake about 25 minutes more or until a

knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool

on a wire rack. Refrigerate within 2 hours; cover for

longer storage. Makes 8 servings.

Pastry for Single-Crust Pie: Stir together 1-1/4 cups

all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Using a

pastry blender cut in 1/3 cup shortening until pieces

are pea-size. Using 4 to 5 tablespoons cold water,

sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the

mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough

to side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1

tablespoon of the water at a time, until all the dough

is moistened. Form dough into a ball. On a lightly

floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten

dough. Roll dough from center to edge into a circle

about 12 inches in diameter.

Make-Ahead Tip: Prepare, bake, and cool pie as above.

Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

Test Kitchen Tip: You can use 1-1/2 teaspoons pumpkin

pie spice for the spices in this pie.
