Pumpkin Pie
Dough made out of flour, butter, water, and a pinch of salt.
¾ cup sugar
½ tbsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground cloves
2 eggs
1 ¾ cups canned pumpkin meat
1 ½ cups evaporated milk

1. Mix sugar, salt, and spices in a small bowl.
2. Whip the eggs lightly in a large bowl. Stir down the pumpkin and the sugar-spice mix.
3. Stir down the evaporated milk little by little.
4. Pour the contents of the bowl into the piecrust and cook in 390-435°F/200-225°C for 15 minutes.
5. Lower the temperature to 350°F and cook the pie for another 40-50 minutes, until a knive slicing into the middle of the pie comes out dry. You mustn't let the pie cook for too long because, from what I have heard, dry pumkin pie is incredibly disgusting.
6. Let the pie cool on a rack for about 2 hours. Serve with coolwhip or sweetened whipped cream.
