\u00a0For those of you who have been dear readers for a while, here is another post where I show just how flawed I am. If you are new here that might surprise you since lots of social media is about showing how perfect you and your life are.<\/p>\n

The latest version of how flawed I am revolves around the Thanksgiving pie. I decided to make a pumpkin pie since<\/p>\n

1) I love pumpkin pie<\/p>\n

2) Sweetie loves any pie, and<\/p>\n

3) It’s easy and delicious!<\/p>\n

The mistake was trying to bake the pie early in the morning on Thanksgiving when I hadn’t slept well the night before. I made the crust just fine because I was using the pre-made pie dough already rolled in a circle. Since I was using a deep dish pie plate I did roll it out a bit more, but even that was easy. Making the filling was slightly more challenging but still easy. Where I got in trouble was the baking. You bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. No problem there, either. But here is where I went wrong. I reset the timer for 35 minutes but forgot to turn down the heat to 350. My poor pie baked for about 25 minutes at 425 instead of 350 and so the crust in some places was burnt and the top also had areas that darkened considerably (see photo above). It’s a good thing that I checked on it early!\u00a0<\/p>\n

The whole thing went into the fridge once it had cooled a bit and I decided to serve it anyway, with some dollops of whipped cream to distract from the burnt buts. I expected the filling to be overcooked and rubbery, but instead we found that the filling was firmer than usual, but still tender and delicious with no burnt taste! The guys had two slices!<\/p>\n

Just goes to show you that I make mistakes but sometimes I get lucky and the results are still OK.<\/p>\n

Hope that you and yours had a great Thursday.<\/p>\n

Pumpkin Pie\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree<\/span>
2 large eggs<\/span>
\u00be cup brown sugar, packed<\/span>
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/span>
\u00bd teaspoon salt<\/span>
\u00bd teaspoon ground ginger<\/span>
\u00bc teaspoon ground cloves<\/span>
10 oz. evaporated milk or light cream<\/span>
1 unbaked 9 inch pie shell – OK to use your own recipe, or store-bought pie dough or pie shell<\/span><\/p>\n

Prepare the pie shell in a fairly deep 9-inch pie pan, or use a pre-made pie shell if desired.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a mixing bowl beat the eggs slightly, then add the brown sugar and beat to combine. Add the salt and spices and combine well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Take the pumpkin puree out of the can and add<\/span>\u00a0to the egg mixture and combine. Slowly add the evaporated milk or light cream. When blended, pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell (which has been placed on a baking sheet), making sure to leave at least \u00bc inch of the sides unfilled to allow for expansion during baking. If you have remaining filling, you can bake it in a buttered ramekin or custard cup as a treat for the cook!<\/span><\/p>\n

Place the cookie sheet with pie in a preheated 425 degree F. oven for 15 minutes. Then reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. and continue baking for another 35-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. It’s OK if it still jiggles a tiny bit in the center.Cool on a rack at least 45 minutes, up to 2 hours. Serve at once or refrigerate.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
