Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup pumpkin puree
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish thoroughly with butter or cooking spray to ensure easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients first: flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk together until well blended and no lumps remain.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Add milk, pumpkin puree, and melted butter. Mix these wet ingredients until they are completely incorporated.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Whisk thoroughly until the batter is smooth and free of any flour streaks. The consistency should be similar to a pancake batter.
- Carefully pour the entire batter into the prepared pie dish. The unique aspect of this recipe is that the batter will naturally form its own crust as it bakes.
- Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes. The pie is done when the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes. The pie will continue to set as it cools.
- Serve warm or chilled. Optional: Top with whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon before serving.
- Store any leftover pie in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3-4 days.
Tips
- • Use fresh, high-quality spices to maximize the pie's aromatic flavor profile • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for smoother mixing • Whisk the batter thoroughly to prevent any flour lumps • Don't open the oven door frequently while baking to maintain consistent temperature • Let the pie cool completely for the best texture and easiest slicing • For extra richness, consider using whole milk or adding a splash of vanilla extract • Experiment with toppings like candied pecans or a drizzle of caramel sauce • If the top browns too quickly, loosely cover with aluminum foil • Serve chilled for a firmer consistency or slightly warm for a more pudding-like texture
