Ingredients:


FILLING:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper optional
3 large eggs beaten
2 cups (or one 15-ounce can pumpkin
1 1/4 cups light cream or evaporated milk

CRUST:
1 Pie Crust

Directions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugars, flour, salt, and spices.
2. In a large measuring cup, beat together the eggs, pumpkin, and cream or evaporated milk. Whisk into the dry ingredients. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the filling overnight before baking.
3. Lightly grease a 9" pie pan that is at least 1 1/2" deep. Roll the pie dough out to a 13" circle, and transfer to the pan. Crimp the edges above the rim; this will give you a little extra headroom to hold the filling when it expands in the oven.
Refrigerate the crust while the oven preheats to 400°F.
4. When the oven is hot, place the pie pan on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Pour the filling into the unbaked pie shell.
5. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, until the filling is set 2″ in from the edge. The center should still be wobbly. Remove the pie from the oven and cool on a rack; the center will finish cooking through as the pie sits.
Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
From Abby: Thanksgiving day holds a very special place in our hearts on the Paul side of the family. There are many reasons to blame for this. Each reason comes with a tradition in itself. Each equally important and never one without the other. For some of us the 'reason' may be waking up bright and early to bundle up and caravan to Detroit for the annual Thanksgiving parade. Can you say SPIN IT!!!?
