Happy Thanksgiving
to all my friends and family in Canada!
It just wouldn't be right if I didn't bake a pumpkin pie or two today.
This is our favourite recipe and a winner for sure!
Light (as in fluffy, not the other kind of lite) and delicious!
I know - I thought I would diet and fast this week - sigh.
There's always next week right?

Prize Pumpkin Pie
Makes two pies – one for you and one for sharing J
4 eggs - beaten
2 egg whites beaten till stiff and set aside
1 Cup brown sugar
1 1/2 - 2 Cups pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
2 Cups whole milk
1 Tbsp. melted butter
1 Tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cinnamon
Beat the 4 eggs and then add in the rest of the ingredients
(except the 2 egg whites). Beat the egg
whites till stiff and fold in last. Pour
into 2 unbaked pie shells. Bake at 350F
for 10 min. Reduce to 275F and bake an
additional 30-40 minutes or until knife inserted comes out clean. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
Hint - if using a store bought pie crust (like I did this time) be sure to set the foil pastry lined pie into one of your own pie plates so it bakes better.

We enjoyed a wonderful thanksgiving dinner with most of our extended family
in the old stone house at Hidden Acres Camp.
Our church and family have a long history with this camp and it's been
too long a time since we've spent some quality time there.
A wonderful day indeed!
"Thankful Be"
Till next time - going for a long walk before digging into that pie ...

ReplyDeleteOh, those pies...Pumpkin it must be...but I'm not a pumpkin fan, so it's my daughter's duty to create this Thanksgiving tradition of having a pumpkin pie. I like the chiffon effect.
