My Grandma and my Mimi's pumpkin pie recipe.
My grandma was very influential in my learning to bake, she told me she remembers a little three year old standing on a chair, mixing cookie dough by hand and making a mess. This three year old was me. Now I will be seventeen in 23 days, I still love cookie dough, mixing with my hands, and I usually make a mess when baking. However, now I only need a chair to get things down from the cupboard.
Butter filled pastry
Somehow I ended up with not very many pictures of making pumpkin pie probably because my pup need something and I am forgetful. But at least I took some pictures. Also in my family we always cook down heirloom pumpkins and puree it ourselves for our pumpkin pies, we don't do canned pumpkin. It's truly from scratch.
The top of the pie crust got a little dark but the rest was good and tasty. I also made pumpkin dinner rolls, they were yummy.
