Perfect Amish Pumpkin Pie Recipe

The following pumpkin pie recipe is from one of my favorite (and most used) cookbooks – Cooking With the Horse & Buggy People. Is that a great title or what?  Honestly, I adore this spiral bound collection of Amish recipes. It’s available on Amazon for next to nothing and, believe me, you’ll use it throughout the year MANY, MANY times!

Pumpkin Pie

4 eggs, sparated
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 cups pumpkin
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
4 Tbs flour
Pinch of salt
2 tsp vanilla
5 Cups milk (pet milk), heated
2 Pie Shells

Beat egg whites and set aside. Beat egg yolks and brown sugar together until light in color. Add the white sugar, followed by the rest of the ingredients. Fold in egg whites last.

Bake at 425 degrees until brown, then at 325 degrees for 45 minutes or done.

Yield: 2 pies
