Information

  • Servings: 8
  • Yield: 1 (9-inch) pie

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • In a medium bowl, mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Add pumpkin, then blend in milk.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the 2 whole eggs and separated egg yolk until light. Stir into pumpkin mixture. Beat the remaining egg white until soft peaks form, then fold into pumpkin mixture.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the pecans onto the unbaked pie shell. Pour pumpkin mixture over these, then sprinkle remaining pecans on top.

The filling will be slightly puffed, but will fall evenly upon cooling.
