Mom’S Pumpkin Pie
- 1 can (12 Oz. Can) Evaporated Milk
- 1/2 cups Milk, Or Enough To Make 2 Cups Total When Added With The Evaporated Milk
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 cups Pumpkin Puree' (canned Or Fresh)
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 4 whole Eggs, Slightly Beaten
- 2 whole Single Crust Pie Shells
- 3 Tablespoons Finely Chopped Walnuts Or Pecans
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).
- Scald evaporated milk and milk (heat it until it's almost to the boiling point) and then remove from heat. Stir in butter to melt, set aside.
- Combine pumpkin, sugar, and spices. Add eggs and mix together. Slowly stir in the milk.
- Split the mixture evenly between the two pie shells. You may have extra leftover (we usually do, especially if we do not use the deep-dish pie pans). If you have extra, just pour into a lightly greased ramekin or similar baking dish for a "crustless pie."
- Sprinkle nuts over top, then bake for 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted between the middle and edge of the pie comes out clean.
