This recipe is my absolute favorite for pumpkin pie. In fact, until I ate this pie, I did not like pumpkin pie at all! This recipe is from my husband’s great grandmother! One of the secret ingredients is nutmeg! The pie tastes so much better when you sprinkle additional nutmeg on top before you put it in the oven to bake! It also tastes best with fresh pumpkin and not canned pumpkin. I realize it is impossible to find fresh pumpkin this time of year, but I wanted to share the recipe with you since it is what we are eating this week!
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
2 tbs. flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg (and extra for garnish)
2 cups fresh cooked pumpkin
1/2 cup milk
Beat eggs. Combine sugar, flour, salt, and spices. Add to eggs. Add pumpkin and milk and mix well. Pour into 9 inch deep dish or 10 inch pie pan with crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake at 375 for 50 minutes or 15 minutes then 350 for 45 minutes.
