Directions for Easy Pumpkin Pie
It’s time to get your light, flaky crust made. Start by putting your flour and salt in a small mixing bowl. Next, add the shortening. With a fork, cut the shortening into the dry ingredients.
To bring it all together, add the cold water. Work this into the flour mixture with your hands. Some are a little hesitant about getting their hands dirty, but I find that I can mix things the best that way. Keep working the dough until it is uniform throughout and easily forms a ball.
Get that rolling pin out! On a lightly floured surface, roll your pie crust starting at the center and working your way out. Roll it just big enough to cover the bottom and sides of your pie plate.
Let’s be honest! That is one nice looking pie crust. Now let’s fill it with a sensational pumpkin pie filling that is sure to impress everyone!
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the filling ingredients. With a hand mixer, combine until everything is well blended.
Now it is time to make some magic happen! Carefully pour the filling into your perfectly prepared pie crust. Place it in the oven and bake it at 425ºF for 15 minutes then reduce the heat to 350ºF. Continue baking for 40-50 minutes or until the center of the pie is set.
Check that out! That is what I call an easy-to-make perfect pumpkin pie!
