MOM'S HOMEMADE PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Place your pie crust in a 9-10" pie plate.
• Please note: this pie gets very full. It's pictured made in a standard 9" pie plate. If you have a 9.5" - 10" or 9" deep dish pie plate, you can use those as well. If you're using anything smaller than 9-inch there will be extra filling. Use any extra filling to make mini pumpkin pies (see below). Place pie plate on a cookie sheet for baking.
• Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Pour into pie plate.
• It's best if you cover the edges of the pie crust with foil or a pie crust shield before you start baking. Remove the foil after 50-60 minutes of bake time.
• Carefully transfer pie to oven and bake for 60-75 minutes. I'm giving a large range in time because it depends on what size pie plate you're using and your oven. My 9" pie plate took 70 minutes. It's done when the center looks solid. Cool completely, then wrap tightly and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.
• To make mini pies: use a round cookie cutter or mason jar lid to cut circles out of pie crust. Press into mini muffin pans and fill with about 1-2 tablespoons pie filling. Bake time will be about 20-30 minutes.

MOM'S PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare pie crust for two deep 9" pie plates.
• 2. Whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl. Empty the pumpkin into the bowl.
• 3. Peel the label from the bottom inch or two of the pumpkin can, and carefully place the can on an electric burner. Pour the canned milk into the empty pumpkin can. Fill the milk can with water, then add the water to the milk in the pumpkin can, to within 1/4" of the top of the can. Warm the milk, in the can, on medium-low heat, until scalded (small bubbles will form around the rim and a skin will develop across the surface of the milk).
• 4. Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients into the eggs and pumpkin in the mixing bowl. Stir with a wire whisk until combined and smooth.
• 5. Slowly whisk in the scalded milk until thoroughly combined.
• 6. Ladle/pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crusts. Bake 10 minutes at 425*. Then reduce oven temp to 350* and bake an additional 50 minutes. When the pie is done you'll see it bubbling under the surface. Do a toothpick or knife test -- it should come out clean when the pie is done. Do not overbake -- it'll ruin the custard! Remove the pies to a trivet or cooling rack and cool to room temperature before serving. Serve, if you wish, garnished with whipped cream or ice cream. (best garnish is a slice of my apple or pecan pie!)
• 7. NOTES: 1) If you don't want to use the can method to scald the milk, just scald it in a saucepan. 2) This also works with a milk alternative, like coconut milk or almond milk. Pumpkin measures: 1 fresh 5-pound pumpkin = about 4-1/2 cups cooked, mashed pumpkin 1 pound fresh pumpkin = about 1 cup cooked, mashed pumpkin 1 15-ounce can pumpkin = 1-3/4 cups mashed pumpkin 1 29-ounce can pumpkin = 3-1/2 cups mashed pumpkin *This recipe is easily made gluten free by using your favorite gluten free pie crust (I recommend Pillsbury GF pie dough!) and a good GF all purpose baking flour (I like Bob's Red Mill brand).
