Super Secret Pumpkin Pie recipe: Grandma's Pumpkin Pie
Shhh!!! Don't tell my in-laws but I'm posting this pie recipe because it's INCREDIBLY GOOD!!I'm a terrible cook, so I wrote out the directions for anyone to understand...even me!!!
INGREDIENTS:
2 unbaked pie shells (I use premade)
2 eggs
1 large can of pumpkin (29 ounces)
4 tablespoons molasses (1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons)
1 1/2 cup evaporated milk (that's one can)
1 cup of water--add to evaporated milk to make 2 1/2 cups total liquid
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
SPICES:
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ginger
~~~~~
DIRECTIONS:
1. Put pie shells into pie pan (or buy already in aluminum pie pan). Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Add sugar, flour, salt, and spices to one bowl and mix together.
3. In a larger bowl, beat eggs, then add the ingredients of the first bowl and mix.
4. Then add pumpkin, molasses, and diluted evaporated milk.
5. Mix together thoroughly (I use a mixer).
6. Pour into 2 unbaked pie shells and put pie pans on a cookie sheet (in case it overflows).
7. Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. Reduce to 325 degrees and bake for 30 minutes, then take out to cool. If the pies aren't set (if they're still gooey), turn off the oven and let them set inside the oven for about 15 minutes or longer or until set. They will set more when cooled.
