Nana’s Pumpkin Pie

This is my grandmother’s recipe, the one we have every Thanksgiving.
Makes 2 deep dish pies


2   cups  warm  whole milk 2   tsp cinnamon 1/2  tsp vanilla 1 Lg  can of Pumpkin 6 eggs, beaten
1  ½  cups sugar 1/2 tsp ginger 1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 deep pie crusts ( I use frozen)


Thaw pie crusts according to directions


Preheat oven to 425 degrees


Combine wet ingredients in mixing bowl and mix until well-blended.


Combine dry ingredients and add to wet ones until well blended.


Place pie crust on cookie sheet


Pour filling into pie crust, if any spills on the edge of the crust, wipe it off so it doesn’t burn.


Cover edges of pie with foil.

Bake 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then remove foil and  reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for  40 - 50 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

Cool on pie rack. 

Serve with whipped cream.
