Brown Familys Favorite Pumpkin Pie Food

BROWN FAMILY'S FAVORITE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, and egg yolks. Stir in 1 teaspoon cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. In a large glass or metal bowl, whip egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold into pumpkin mixture. Pour filling into pie shell.
• Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven. While the pie is baking, prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Blend in the cold butter with a fork or pastry blender until the mixture is crumbly. Mix in the chopped nuts. Sprinkle the topping over the pie.
• Reduce the heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake an additional 40 minutes, or until set.

BROWN-SUGAR PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, and roll pastry dough into a 12-inch circle. Line an 8-inch pie plate with pastry, and trim pastry so it's even with edge of plate. Decorate edge with leaf shapes cut from excess pastry. Chill.
• In a medium bowl, combine pumpkin puree, eggs, cream, sugar, allspice, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Whisk until well blended. Pour into chilled pastry shell. Bake until crust is golden brown, and custard is set, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool before serving.

PUMPKIN PIE WITH BROWN SUGAR-WALNUT TOPPING

Steps:

• For topping:
• Combine all ingredients. Using on/ off turns, blend to fine crumbs. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
• For crust:
• Position oven rack in bottom third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Transfer crust to 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Fold edges under and crimp decoratively. Freeze crust 20 minutes.
• Line crust with nonstick foil and fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake until crust is set, about 20 minutes. Gently remove foil and beans. Return crust to oven and bake until partially cooked and golden brown around edges, pressing down on crust with back of spoon if bubbles form, about 15 minutes. Cool crust on rack. Maintain oven temperature.
• For filling:
• Whisk brown sugar, eggs, sea salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves in medium bowl. Add pumpkin and cream and whisk until well blended and smooth.
• Pour filling into crust. Bake pie until filling is firm, covering crust with foil collar if browning too quickly, about 30 minutes.
• Sprinkle topping evenly over top of pie. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F; continue to bake pie until filling is set and slightly puffed in center, about 15 minutes longer. Transfer pie to rack and cool completely. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Tent with foil and chill. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.

MY FAVORITE PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• In large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin and eggs until well mixed.
• Add the sugars, vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and salt; mix well.
• Add the evaporated milk gradually.
• Pour into pie shell.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees.
• Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for another 40-50 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Pie is done when knife inserted in the middle comes out clean or until the center is no longer jiggly.
• Do not overcook; this leads to the pie cracking.
• Cool pie on rack for two hours.
• Serve at room temperature or refrigerate (I like mine cold).
• Enjoy!
