Pumpkin Pie

This is my favorite kind of pie!

Ingredients:

1 recipe basic pie crust

2 Cups canned mashed pumpkin

1 Cup milk

3 eggs, separated

1/2 Cup sugar

1 1/4 teaspoons cinamon

1/4 teaspoon cloves

1/4 teaspoonginger

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt


     Directions:     Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Roll out pie crust dough on a lightly floured board, and line a pie pan with it.  Pinch with fingers to make a fancy edge.  Mix pumpkin and milk together.  Add egg yolks. 

In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinamon, cloves, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.  Add to mixture and mix well.  Stiffly beat the egg whites, and fold them into the pumpkin mixture.  Pour into pie crust and bake for 10 minutes.  Reduce heat to 375 and bake for 20 minutes longer, or until filling is firm.  Serve with whipped cream.
