FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE
I found this recipe ages ago in our local newspaper. There is enough filling for 2, 9-inch pies or one 11-inch pie. Line the pie plate with your best pie dough. Make a strong, fluted rim that extends about 1/2-inch above the rim of the dish. Do not prick the bottom of the pastry.

JULIA CHILD'S AUNT HELEN'S FLUFFY PUMPKIN PIE
This recipe was published in Parade in November 1982, when Julia Child was writing a recipe column for the magazine. As all cooks (and writers) know, Thanksgiving is an adventure and a challenge: how to come up with fresh ideas that keep the dish on the right side of tradition? In this pie, Mrs. Child's addition of molasses, extra spices and especially bourbon breathe new life into the filling. If you like your desserts on the spicy side, add an extra tablespoon of molasses and a pinch of black pepper.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 450 degrees and place rack in center of oven. Separate eggs and set aside.
- Using a mixer, blender or large bowl, blend pumpkin, the 2 cups of the sugars, 1 teaspoon salt, molasses, bourbon or rum (if using), cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, egg yolks, cream and milk until smooth. Add more milk, a tablespoon at a time, if the mixture is stiff: it should be a soft purée.
- In a clean bowl, whip egg whites until foaming. Whip in a pinch of salt, then gradually whip in remaining 2 tablespoons sugar until shiny white peaks form. Beat 1/4 of the whites thoroughly into pumpkin mixture; gently fold in the rest.
- Immediately ladle filling into the shells, filling to just below the rim of the pan. Place in oven and bake just until rim of crust begins to turn gold, 10 to 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 and bake another 25 to 30 minutes, until a tester inserted into the filling 2 inches from the rim comes out clean. (The center should still be a bit wet; it will cook more as it cools.) If the rim of the crust starts to get too brown, cover it with aluminum foil.
- Immediately turn oven off, leave door ajar (stick in a wooden spoon to hold it open if necessary) and let sit 20 to 30 minutes more as the oven cools; this will prevent the filling from turning watery. Serve warm, or let cool, wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Let pie come to room temperature before serving.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin. Look for a sugar pumpkin or pie pumpkin, which are smaller and sweeter than other types of pumpkins.
- Roast the pumpkin. Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor.
- Use fresh spices. Ground spices lose their flavor over time, so use fresh spices whenever possible.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the pie tough.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature. This will help the crust to brown and the filling to set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With a few simple tips, you can make a pumpkin pie that is fluffy, flavorful, and sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give pumpkin pie a try.
