Ingredients:
pumpkin
1/2 pint water
1 egg
1/2 cup sugar
2 table-spoons pumpkin
1/2 pint rich milk
a little salt
cinnamon or nutmeg
1 recipe homemade pie crust
Preparation:
- Stew pumpkin cut into small pieces, in a half pint water; and, when soft, mash with potato-masher very fine, let the water dry away, watching closely to prevent burning or scorching.
- For each pie take one egg, half cup sugar, two table-spoons pumpkin, half pint rich milk (a little cream will improve it), a little salt; stir well together, and season with cinnamon or nutmeg; bake with under crust in a hot oven.
