Grandma's Homestead Pumpkin Pie
From LeeAnn Miller

You saw it Tuesday, November 1, 2005

Ingredients
In order to save time, we like to mix a large batch of pie crust crumbs and liquid mix and store them in the refrigerator. When we are ready to use it, we can put together a pie, quiche, or pot pie in quick order.

The following recipe makes three 9 1/2 single pie shells.

1 stick or 4 oz. butter

1/2 cup white shortening

6 cups pastry flour

1 Tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients with a wire whisk. Add the butter and shortening, rubbing them together with your fingers until it resembles corn meal.

Place in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator until very cold.

The will keep in the refrigeratorfor 2 to 4 weeks.

In a separate container, mix the following:

1 cup of water

2 eggs

2 Tablespoon vinegar

Instructions

Store in refrigerator until ready to use. This will keep in the refrigerator for 3 days.

For one single pie shell, mix 2 cups of crumbs with 5 Tablespoons of liquid mixture. Toss gently with a spatula, then form into a ball with your hands. You need to gently work and mold until the ball is soft and easy to roll.

Using your rolling pin, roll out onto a floured surface about 11" in diameter and 1/8" thick.

For double pie shell do the above technique two times.

Make the pie filling.

1 large (29 oz.) can Libby's pumpkin

2 cups white sugar

2/3 cup brown sugar

6 eggs

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

2-1/4 cups evaporated milk

2-1/2 cups whole milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix pumpkin, sugars, eggs, cinnamon, salt, pumpkin pie spice until well blended.

Add evaporated and regular milk, reserving 2 cups filling, pour the remainder into raw pie shells.

After you place pies in the oven, pour 1 cup of the reserved filling into each pie. Bake approximately 2 hours or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool 1-2 before cutting.

This is a light, fresh tasting pumpkin pie.
