Homemade Pumpkin Pie:
Ingredients: 1⅓ cups all purpose flour ½ teaspoon salt
½ cup shortening 3½ tablespoons cold water
Filling Ingredients: 2 cups mashed, cooked pumpkin 1 (12
fluid ounce) can evaporated milk 2 eggs, beaten ¾ cup packed
brown sugar ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ½ teaspoon ground
ginger ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg ½ teaspoon salt
Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 20
min.
2. Prepare pie crust by mixing together the flour and salt. Cut
shortening into flour; add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (you
may need only 3 tablespoons, or up to 4 tablespoons). Mix dough and
repeat until dough is moist enough to hold together.
3. With lightly floured hands shape dough into a ball. On a lightly
floured board roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. With a
sharp knife, cut dough 1 1/2 inch larger than the upside-down 8- to
9-inch pie pan. Gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and
transfer it right-side up onto the pie pan. Unroll, easing dough into
the bottom of the pie pan.
4. In a large bowl, beat pumpkin with evaporated milk, eggs, brown
sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt with an electric mixer or
immersion blender. Mix well. Pour into a prepared crust. Bake 40
minutes or until when a knife is inserted 1 inch from the edge comes
out clean.
