OPAL'S PUMPKIN PIE



Opal's Pumpkin Pie image

This recipe makes 2- 9" pies. If you make one large pie instead you will have to add time to the baking to get it done. This recipe was given to me by Opal Beebee, several years ago. This is a handed down family recipe. It was once prepared in the White House for one of the former Presidents. Opal's daughter had served in the National Guard and had met a Pastry Chef who later worked at the White House and called Opal to ask for the recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner at the White House. Do not eliminate the heavy cream IN the pie...the cream and the amount of spices listed is what makes this pie so special. It is good hot or cold. I never tasted hot pumpkin pie until I tasted this one. I found out this past Christmas (2009) that this bakes well without a crust as well. I had to make 3 pumpkin pies to take to my son's home. I had enough mixture left over make another pie but not enough pie dough for a 4th pie. So I spray oiled a round casserole dish, filled with mixture and baked.

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Pastry dough
15-oz can canned solid-pack pumpkin (about 2 cups)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Pinch of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
Accompaniment: lightly whipped cream
Special Equipment
pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make pastry dough as directed. Roll out dough into a 14-inch round on a lightly floured surface and fit into a 9-inch glass pie plate (4-cup capacity). Crimp edge decoratively and prick bottom all over. Chill 30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375°°F.
  • Line shell with foil and fill with pie weights. Bake in middle of oven 20 minutes. Remove weights and foil and bake shell until pale golden, 6 to 10 minutes more. Cool in pan on a rack. Whisk together pumpkin, cream, milk, eggs, brown sugar, spices, and salt, then pour into shell.
  • Bake pie in middle of oven 45 to 50 minutes, or until filling is set but center still trembles slightly. (Filling will continue to set as pie cools.) Transfer to rack and cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pumpkin: Fresh pumpkin puree gives the pie a more vibrant flavor and texture than canned puree.
  • Make your own pie crust: A homemade pie crust is flakier and more flavorful than a store-bought crust.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set: The center of the pie should be slightly jiggly when you shake the pan.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving: This allows the pie to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following these tips, you can make a delicious pumpkin pie that will be the star of your next gathering.
