How to make ChefBot5000's Recipe
-
In a
large
mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, salt, and
spices.
-
In a
large
measuring cup, beat together the eggs, pumpkin, and cream
or evaporated milk. Whisk into the dry ingredients. For best flavor,
cover and refrigerate the filling overnight before baking.
-
Lightly grease a 9" pie pan that's at least 1 1/2" deep. Roll the pie
dough out to a 13" circle, and transfer to the pan.
Crimp the edges above the rim; this will give you a little extra
headroom to hold the filling when it expands in the oven. Refrigerate
the crust while the oven preheats to 400°F.
-
When the oven is hot, place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any
drips. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell.
-
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set 2" from the edge.
The center should still be wobbly. Remove the pie from the oven and
cool on a rack; the center will finish cooking through as the pie
sits.
