PUMPKIN PIE ( more choices book)
2 uncooked pie shells
1 can (29 oz) pumpkin
4 TBS cornstarch
3/4 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsps cinnamon
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp cloves
1/2 cup Soyagen (soymilk powder) OR non-dairy creamer powder
2 1/2 cups water
1cup all purpose flour (we use gluten free blend)
1. preheat oven 425 F.
2. in small bowl, wisk cornstarch and 3/4c cool water until disolved.
3. empty pumpkin into large bowl. add cornstarch mixture and mix well. add sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. mix well
4. mix together milk powder of you choosing and 2 1/2 cups water until disolved. add to pumpkin mixture. mix well. add flour and mix.
5. pour pumpkin mixture into two 9" pie shells.
*if baking both pies at once, place one on bottom rack of oven and one on top rack. place aluminum foil over each pie loosely. halfway through baking time, exchange pies position in the oven.
*if baking only one pie, place it on lower rack of oven and place foil over top rack to prevent the crust and pie top from over browning.
BAKE for 15 min at 425 F, then lower temperature to 350 F for the remaining 65 min. then remove foil and lightly brown crust for 10 min.
well there you have it! let me know if you try my healthier versions of the thanksgiving classic pumpkin pie.
hope your turkey day is enjoyable and memorable!
thanks for reading...
