Pumpkin pie has been a holiday dessert staple for as long I can remember. I can’t even try to count all the delicious pumpkin pie recipes I have tried over the years, many of which I loved and some that didn’t make the cut.
One of my favourites comes from my Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. It is the recipe for a Perfect Pumpkin Pie!
Perfect Pumpkin Pie
You will need:
15 ounces of pumpkin
1/2 cup sugar (or 1 cup for a sweeter pie)
1 and 1/2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 single-crust pie
Before you begin, you will need to have a single-crust pie. I used my Homemade Pie Crust recipe. You can purchase ready-to-go crusts at the grocery store, but I prefer homemade! I used a glass pie plate as well for a classic look!
Preheat your oven to 375 Degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar and pumpkin pie spice. I used 1/2 cup sugar for mine and found that the pie is delicious, but not as sweet as I am use to. If you want a sweeter pie, which I would recommend, go with 1 cup of sugar versus 1/2 cup!
Next, mix in eggs and milk. Pour filling into the crust and back for roughly 50 minutes.
