GRANDMA'S PUMPKIN PIE

This is the recipe my grandmother used for her pumpkin pie. It doesn't contain any nutmeg and is my all-time favorite pumpkin pie. Please note that this recipe is for two (2) pies' worth of filling.

Provided by SemperFidelis9a

Categories     Pie

Time 1h25m

Yield 2 pies, 6-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 eggs
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree (I don't know that is the proper measurement of oz. It's whatever the regular can of libby's pumpkin )
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ginger
2 tablespoons flour, heaping
2 cups milk

Steps:

  • Beat eggs then mix with pumpkin in a large bowl.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together sugar, flour, spices, and salt. (I usually don't sift the brown sugar because it's a pain.).
  • Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix until combined.
  • Add milk and mix until combined.
  • Divide mixture between two 9" pie crusts/pans.
  • Bake for 10 minutes at 425 degrees then turn oven to 350 degrees and continuing baking for roughly one hour. (Grandma's advice: "I just let mine puff clear up; if it's about an hour I figure they are done.").
  • NOTE: If you are concerned about the crust of your pie getting too brown, use some aluminium foil around the edges of the crust to keep it from getting too brown.

Yield Makes two 9-inch pies

Number Of Ingredients 18

Crust
2 2/3 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup chilled lard or vegetable shortening, cut into pieces
8 tablespoons (about) ice water
Filling
3 cups solid pack pumpkin (about 1 1/2 16-ounce cans)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
1 1/4 cups milk
6 tablespoons all purpose flour
3 large eggs
3 tablespoons dark molasses
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
3/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • For Crust:
  • Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor 10 seconds. Add unsalted butter and lard and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, using on/off turns. Blend in 6 tablespoons water. Mix in enough additional water by tablespoonfuls until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; divide in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough disks soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.)
  • Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-inch-diameter glass pie plate. Trim overhang to 1 inch; fold edges under. Crimp crust edge decoratively, forming high-standing rim. Repeat rolling and shaping with remaining dough disk. Freeze crusts 15 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line crusts with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crusts until sides begin to set, about 15 minutes. Remove foil and beans. Bake crusts until pale golden, piercing with toothpick if crusts bubble, about 15 minutes. Cool completely on racks. Maintain oven temperature.
  • For filling:
  • Whisk all ingredients in large bowl to blend. Pour half of pumpkin filling (about 3 3/4 cups) into each prepared pie crust.
  • Bake pies until filling is set in center, about 1 hour. Cool pies on racks.

GRANDMA BLACK'S PUMPKIN PIE

Grandma Maxine's pumpkin pie- a thanksgiving favorite! Some cans of pumpkin are less sweet than others. I sometimes increase sugar from 3/4 cup to 1 cup but I need exceed 1 cup. Note: 1 3/4 tsp. of pumpkin pie spice may be substituted for the cinnamon, ginger and cloves however the taste will be slightly different, I prefer to use the individual spices.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree: Fresh pumpkin puree has a much better flavor and texture than canned puree. If you don't have time to make your own puree, you can use canned pumpkin puree, but be sure to drain it well before using it.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Blind bake the pie crust: Blind baking the pie crust will help to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake the pie crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the pie crust with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the pie crust for 15 minutes, then remove the parchment paper and pie weights and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Don't overcook the pie: Overcooking the pie will make the filling tough. Bake the pie until the center is just set. The pie will continue to cook as it cools.

Conclusion:

Grandma Wilson's pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is sure to please everyone. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and warm spices, this pie is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Follow these tips to make sure your pumpkin pie turns out perfect every time.
