D ~ Week 45 ~ Peggy Flatt's Pumpkin Pie

This is my favorite pumpkin pie that my mom makes every year! So... this year I made all the pies for Thanksgiving - 2 pumpkin, a pecan and an apple (same one I made a few weeks ago). 

Ingredients;
3 eggs
1 1/2 c sugar
2 T flour
1 t salt
2 t cinnamon
11/2 t nutmeg
1/2 t ginger or cloves
3 c pumpkin puree (about 29 oz or can use 2 15 oz cans)
4 T molasses
2 (12 oz) cans evaporated milk



Directions: 

Prepare 2 pie plates with dough or use store bought pie crusts. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Beat eggs thoroughly.Add sugar and flour. Mix well.

Add spices and salt.

Then add pumpkin puree.

Add in molasses. (My mom was so great and "poured exactly" for me!)

Add in the evaporated milk and blend well.

Pour into prepared pie shells.  My mom was great and took a picture of me pouring the pie filling into the shells on the oven shelf. 

Baked at 450 for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 350 and bake 45 minutes longer or until firm. (Mom claims that the pie always takes longer than the recipe says... so be patient and keep baking!)

Decision: Make sure you have a large enough bowl for all ingredients! :)  The pie looks so yummy! I want to eat it now! But I must wait til dinner tomorrow night. *sigh*
