This best pumpkin pie recipe came about after many years of experimentation. I've finally perfected what I think is the ideal formula for a rich pumpkin pie that's much less likely to crack on top. Serve garnished with whipped cream and freshly grated nutmeg.
Ingredients
- 1 , 15 ounce
- 3 eggs yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 , 14 ounce
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoons fine salt
- 0.25 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg
- 0.13 teaspoons Chinese 5-spice powder
- 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust , see footnote for recipe link
Instructions
-
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
-
2
Whisk together pumpkin, egg yolks, and egg in a large bowl until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, salt, nutmeg, and Chinese 5-spice powder; whisk until thoroughly combined.
-
3
Line a 9-inch pie plate with pie crust; crimp edges.
-
4
Pour filling into crust; lightly tap on the counter to release air bubbles. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
-
5
Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until just set in the middle, 30 to 40 more minutes. A paring knife inserted into the filling, 1 inch from the edge, should come out clean. Allow to cool completely before serving.

My oma used to make this butter soup when they first came to Canada and had no money. It has been passed down to me, and it's a favorite of everyone I've made it for!
Duck Fat Steak Fries
You know a potato side dish is going to be good when 75% of the name refers to fat or meat. These super-crusty, oven-fried potato wedges, or 'steak fries' as they call them where I'm from, are done with rendered duck fat, and while I'm a big fan of ones done with olive oil and/or butter, these really are better.
