Favorite Pumpkin Pie

My favorite pumpkin pie recipe uses a little more
 sugar and cinnamon that most recipes.

It mixes in minutes.

 First whisk the 2 eggs in a large bowl.

 Then add the remaining ingredients. 

Whisk until smooth.

 Roll out you pie crust. I always used my
(click here)  homemade pie crust,

because the crust is a favorite part.

Pour in the filling and bake.

 Sometimes...I swirl a little design on top. 

Combine 2T sour cream and 1/2T milk in a small

 baggie. Snip of a little bit of the corner. 

Make a spiral starting in the center, then drag a 

skewer through to make a scalloped design.

I didn't do that this time, I just swirled it 

randomly. I like the first method better.

 By the way, you can't taste the sour cream.

 Fill you pie shell and carefully put into a

 preheated 400 oven for 50 minutes.

Cool then refrigerate for two hours.

 You can make this a day ahead.

classic-without the swirl

Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. 

Then ask yourself;

Why don't we make this more often?

Favorite Pumpkin Pie

(you could also use 12oz can
 of evaporated milk)

1/4 t salt

Whisk eggs then and add remaining 
ingredients. Combine well and pour into
 the unbaked pie shell. Bake at 400º for
 45-50 minutes until set, OR
 bake at 425º for 15 minutes then reduce 
the temperature to 350º and bake for 40-50
