Homemade Pumpkin Pie!

Nothing says "I love you" and "welcome home from a long day of studying" quite like homemade pumpkin pie!  



The crust: "No Fail Pie Crust"
(From Joan Hardy)
1 1/2 cups AP flour
1/2 cup oil
1/4 cup milk

Mix ingredients well until they form a ball.  Place ball on a sheet of wax paper then add another sheet of wax paper on top.  Roll out the pie crust.  Gently place in pie dish.


The Pie filling:  "Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie"
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
2 large eggs
1 can (15 oz) Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin
1 can (12 fl. oz) Evaporated Milk

Mix sugar, salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves in small bowl.  Beat eggs in large bowl.  Stir in pumpkin and sugar-spice mixture.  Gradually stir in evaporated milk.

Pour into pie shell.

Bake in preheated 425 degrees F oven for 15 minutes.  Reduce temperature to 375 degrees F., bake 40-50 minutes or until knife inserted near the center comes out clean.  Cool for 2 hours on wire rack.  Serve immediately or refrigerate.
