Yummy Pumkin Pie

Ok before getting started you want to pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. 

Ingredients :

2 eggs
2 cups Pumpkin
3/4 cups sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 3/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 can (12oz) Evaporated milk

Put everything into a 5 cup blender and blend until totally smooth. Place your pie shells on your oven rack before hand so as to prevent as much spilling as you can. Fill pie shells and gently push into your oven cooking. Place in your oven at 425 for 15 minutes, then drop the temp to 350 and continue cooking for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool and enjoy :)

Perfect Pie Pastry

Yes it might be easier to grab the frozen shell front the freezer section, but if you want to make one from scratch that isn't going to make your head explode then here you go.

Ingredients :

3 cups of flour (sifted is better, but lets face it we dont all have a sifter these days)
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shortening
3/4 cups water with 1 tsp of vinegar mixed in

So if you have to sifter you want to sift your salt and your flour together into a large bowl. If not just lightly mix together with a fork till totally combined. Then cut in (Use a fork or something to break up and combine) the shorting into the dry ingredients in your bowl. Then slowly add in your water gradually stir mix as little as possible with your fork just till the particles cling together and you can form a dough ball.

This will make two 9 inch shells, or a top and a bottom.
