Velvety Pumpkin Pie
Ingredients
  • 1 medium sugar pumpkin
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup honey, warmed slightly
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 recipe pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
Instructions
1
First, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C), ensuring it reaches the desired temperature. To make cleanup easier, line a jelly roll pan with aluminum foil and give it a light coating of oil.
2
Next, carefully cut open the pumpkin in half and scoop out its seeds. Then, lightly brush the cut surface with oil and place it cut-side down on the prepared pan.
3
Then bake the pumpkin in your preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until its flesh is tender enough to be pierced with a fork. Allow it to cool down just before serving.
4
Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C) for the next step. This will help speed up the process.
5
Now, remove the pumpkin flesh from the pan and mash it in a bowl using your hands or purée it in small batches using a blender.
6
Then, take the pie dough and shape it into the bottom and sides of a pie plate. Use your fingers to create decorative edges.
7
In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of pumpkin purée, salt, ginger, and cinnamon. Use an electric mixer to beat in eggs, honey, milk, and cream until well combined.
8
Pour the pumpkin filling into your pie shell and bake in your preheated oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a knife inserted 1 inch from the edge of the pie comes out clean.
9
Finally, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
