Mammams Pumpkin Pie Makes 2 Pies Food

MAMMAM'S PUMPKIN PIE (MAKES 2 PIES)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F.
• In a medium pot, add Pumpkin, Butter, Salt, Sugar, Ginger, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon.
• Simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Do not let pumpkin boil, it will lead to a watery pie. Lower heat if pumpkin looks like it may boil.
• Remove from heat.
• In a bowl, beat 5 eggs and one yolk (save extra egg white for crust).
• Add milk to eggs and stir.
• Keep stirring and add pumpkin to egg mixture a little at a time.
• Stir in the Vanilla and Whiskey.
• Brush egg white over the inside and edge of the pie crust and let egg white dry. This will prevent the crust from getting too soggy and will create a nice shine to the edge of the pie crust.
• Pour pumpkin evenly into 2 pie crusts.
• Bake at 450 for 20 minutes then reduce the heat to 325 for 45 minutes.
• Keep an eye on the pie toward the last 10 minutes. If you see cracks forming take the pies out of the oven, this is a sign of over cooking.
