It was all pumpkin at my house over the weekend. Second up was Pumpkin Pie!



Here what you need:
1 recipe pastry for a 10inch single crust pie

1 egg yolk
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

Eggs


White sugar


Brown sugar




Mix well


Add salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves.


Mix well


Gradually stir in milk and cream.




Stir in pumpkin.

Pour filling into pie shell.




Bake for ten minutes in oven preheated to 450F.
Reduce heat to 350F, and bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is set.

Now when I made it this time... I used a 9 in pie crust by mistake... so I had extra filling. So I made tiny little mini pies with the extra!

Cut out 3 in circles (or flowers) of pie dough
