For those of yous who don’t bake rattling oft or are newly married together with working on your showtime pie, Libby’s Famous Pumpkin Pie is a swell 1 to start with.  It is rattling uncomplicated together with pretty difficult to mess up.  The exclusively matter that usually goes incorrect is nether baking.  Make certain it is done per the directions.  If yous receive got to create it longer than the directions say, bake it longer but exclusively inward brusque fourth dimension increments earlier rechecking.  I ever receive got to bake this longer – often for 60 minutes instead of the 40-50 minutes noted inward the recipe.  Maybe I brand my pie thicker, inward a smaller pan – who knows – you’ll figure it out together with last the striking of the party.  My side of the identify unit of measurement (and my oldest nephew – yous know who yous are) loves pumpkin pie with Cool Whip.  My husband’s side of the identify unit of measurement loves Reddi-Whip a/k/a squirty stuff.  I would propose having both on mitt – who knew this could displace such a problem!

Note for Andrea:  Thank yous for the special asking for a pumpkin pie.  I wasn’t certain if you’re hoping to brand 1 for Thanksgiving but last certain to banking concern check amongst husband because he is bringing yous the leftovers to run on Monday!  So Andrea … save room for dessert!

First we’ll brand the pie crust.  All yous demand is Crisco shortening, salt, mutual depression temperature H2O together with all-purpose flour.

Add the common salt to the flour together with cutting inward the Crisco amongst a pastry blender.

Add the H2O together with kind out into a ball.  Roll out the dough to fit the pie plate.

Trim the edges to virtually 1 inch overlapping the side.  Fold nether together with press to seal.

Everybody does something dissimilar when crimping the edges.

This double pinch procedure seems to last what I ordinarily use.

Work your agency approximately the pie crimping to match.

My woman bring upward used to produce a 1 handed twist but I never did produce that rattling well.

I similar to cutting out crust decorations amongst the remaining dough.  I used a cookie cutter to create these Fall leaves.  I moistened the tops amongst H2O together with sprinkled saccharide together with cinnamon on top.  I position them on a cookie canvas amongst the pie crust.  Now yous tin transportation away laid upward the pumpkin pie filling.

Assemble the pumpkin, sugar, eggs, salt, cinnamon, cloves, ginger and evaporated milk.

Whisk the eggs until good blended.

In a pocket-size bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, ginger together with salt.

Add the pumpkin together with saccharide mixture to the eggs.

Whisk until blended.

Slowly whisk inward the evaporated milk.

Pour into the prepared pie crust together with bake.

It volition exclusively receive got a few minutes for the crust cookies to bake therefore lookout adult man them carefully together with take away when browned.  These tin transportation away last used every bit a ornament on the locomote past times of the pie or each private piece.

My Mother together with Mammaw taught me to bake.  Since my Mom grew upward during the Depression, she learned to never waste matter food.  She would ever receive got the scraps of dough from a pie crust together with brand crust cookies.

I wishing yous could odor these lovely petty crunchy cookies!

I however, utilisation this extra dough every bit an chance to utilisation one of my many cookie cutters!

I don’t know how I accumulated therefore many but I bask them every peril I can.

There seems to last 1 for every holiday, every bit good every bit the sports my children played 🙂

 When the pie is done baking, it volition last puffy similar this.  This volition relax every bit the pie cools.

Once cooled either serve directly or refrigerate until ready to cut.  Cool Whip or Reddi-Whip – improve banking concern check amongst your military camp earlier yous buy!

But showtime it’s fourth dimension for the rattling showtime installment of Tricia’s baking tips!

This may seem similar a rattling uncomplicated suggestion, but when yous start to bake anything, describe out all the ingredients yous will need together with receive got them ready to go.  For example, this recipe calls for yous to mix the sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger together with cloves inward a pocket-size bowl.  I don’t know virtually you, but sometimes the telephone volition band correct inward the middle of something similar this together with I’m left to sweat together with remember, “did I add together the gloves already?”  The cloves hold off a lot similar cinnamon.

To assist preclude this problem, I mensurate the ingredients together with add together them to the bowl, then put away the cinnamon, or cloves or whatever it is I’m measuring.  At the rattling least, I deed the exceptional away from the baking surface area therefore I know I’ve already added what I needed.  This besides helps me a lot inward illustration I forget to add together something.  When I hold off approximately together with discovery something soundless sitting on the counter, similar nutmeg, I showtime experience panic every bit I think to myself, “self – did yous forget to add together the nutmeg?!?!”  I re-read the recipe together with institute that it didn’t telephone telephone for nutmeg, I manifestly pulled it out thinking it was inward the pumpkin pie – but it is not!  So inward this instance, it was OK together with I didn’t ruin the pie.  This ‘forgetfullness’ volition oft occur amongst common salt or other things that disappear inward your pot or bowl.

Another variation of this tip is to mensurate things such every bit sugar, cinnamon, etc together with receive got it mixed earlier yous fifty-fifty start the recipe.  If you’ve ever watched Emeril or Rachael Ray yous volition come across they receive got everything measured earlier they begin.  This is manifestly for the sake of improve / quicker TV, but I think it besides serves a rattling helpful purpose.

Tip # 2 – ever utilisation a timer when baking (yes I’m talking to yous immature lady Allie!)

I promise to larn how to create a printable recipe hither on the blog, but inward the meantime if yous desire to salve a recipe every bit posted on the blog, re-create together with glue it into a Word document or an email, then striking print!
