Mix spices with a little sugar to break up lumps. Add to pumpkin. Mix a little sugar with egg yolks; add to pumpkin. Add balance of sugar. Mix well. Heat milk (scald).

Bake at 400ºF for about 15 minutes, then at 300ºF for 30 minutes. Makes 2 regular size pies.
If a large can of pumpkin is used, add about an extra 1/2 of all ingredients. This will make 2 large pies or 3 regular. A topping of nutmeg flavored whip cream with pecans sprinkled on top is nice.
