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.

Steps:
- In medium bowl, mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
- Gather pastry into a ball. On lightly floured surface, shape dough into flattened round. Wrap pastry in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable.
- Heat oven to 425°F. On lightly floured surface, roll pastry with floured rolling pin into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
- In medium bowl, beat eggs slightly with wire whisk. Beat in remaining filling ingredients. Place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack to prevent spilling the filling. Pour filling into pie plate. Cover edge of crust with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning.
- Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake about 45 minutes longer, removing foil during last 15 minutes of baking, until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 30 minutes. Refrigerate about 4 hours or until chilled.
- In chilled small bowl, beat topping ingredients with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Serve pie topping with whipped cream.

MOM'S PUMPKIN PIE
Dark, rich, and creamy, this recipe has been handed down in my family for several generations, a treasured secret. To this day it's far and away the best pumpkin pie I've ever tasted. As with many heirloom recipes, it's simple and straightforward, and simply can't be beat.

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).

Steps:
- 1. Put unbaked crust into a pie plate.Preheat oven to 425. Lower it to 375 after 20 mins.
- 2. Put pumpkin in a mixing bowl.Add to it and blend well,the sugar,salt,spices and molasses.
- 3. Take 1/2c milk and whisk in the cornstarch till smooth so there are no lumps.Stir it into the pumpkin.Beat an egg and add it to the pumpkin,along with the remaining 1 1/2c milk.Stir all and then pour into the crust. It will be filled right to the top,so transfer it to the oven carefully!
- 4. Bake for 55-60 min's,until the center does not "shimmy or jiggle"...and is set. Sometimes I lower the oven to 350 if it is not set,but the crust seems to be getting too browned-I've even thrown a piece of aluminum foil loosely atop,if need be.But this is only toward the end of the baking time...maybe the last 10 mins.Watch and see. When done,put on a rack to cool.
- 5. Whipping Cream-About an hour before you are serving the pie,beat the whipping cream and vanilla(cold beaters helps!)stirring all often,including the side bowl scrapings...and until peaks form.It happens quick.Slowly fold in the sugar last when it is done.It can turn to butter quickly once it is ready,or if overbeaten,so be careful.But it's heavenly!My family,even adults(!!)still race to licks these beaters!!
- 6. Please enjoy in the company of family and friends!!
Tips:
- To achieve the creamiest pumpkin pie filling, make sure to use fresh pumpkin puree. Canned puree can work in a pinch, but fresh puree will give your pie a richer, more velvety texture.
- Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing can make the filling tough and dense. Gently stir the ingredients together until just combined.
- If you don't have a pie crust on hand, you can use a pre-made graham cracker crust. This is a great option if you're short on time or don't have the ingredients to make your own pie crust.
- Be sure to pre-bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Bake the pie in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the pie cooks evenly.
- Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the filling to set and firm up.
- Serve the pie with your favorite toppings, such as whipped cream, ice cream, or a dollop of maple syrup.
Conclusion:
New England pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is sure to please everyone at your table. With its creamy, flavorful filling and flaky crust, this pie is a perfect way to celebrate the season. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is easy to follow and will help you create a delicious pumpkin pie that will be the star of your Thanksgiving or holiday feast.
