How to make ChefJun5000's Recipe
-
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, salt, and
spices.
-
In a large measuring cup, beat together the eggs, pumpkin, and
creeam or evaporated milk. Whisk into the dry ingredients. Forbest flavor,
cover and refrigerate the filling overnight before baking.
-
Lighting grease a 9" pie pan that's at least 1 1/2"deep. Roll the pie
dough out to a 13" circle, and transfer to the pan.
Crimp the edges
above the rim; this will give you a little extra headroom to hold the
filling when it expands in the oven. Refrigerate the crust while the oven
preheats to 400°F.
-
When the oven is hot, place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch an
drips. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell.
-
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set 2" in from the edge.
The center should still be wobbly. Remove the pie from the oven and ccool
on a rack; the center will finish cooking through as the pie sits.
