Instructions
Creating a delicious Pumpkin Pie is simple with these clear steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. Trim the edges and crimp them for a decorative finish.
3. Mix Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well.
4. Add Eggs: Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the pumpkin mixture. Stir until fully combined.
5. Incorporate Milk: Gradually add the evaporated milk to the mixture, stirring until smooth and well combined.
6. Pour into Crust: Carefully pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust.
7. Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
8. Reduce Temperature: After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes.
10. Chill: For best results, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
