Pumpkin Pie in the SkyFollow

I don't know about pumpkim pie, but lavender may be the scent that drives me wild. I remember one of my group partners wearing a particular scent--I'm unsure of the name--one day in class. Whatever it was, my nostrils were flared for two and a half hours, and I definitely noticed a strong physiological reaction.

Kaolian's Pumpkin Pie of Doom!
Ingredients:
1 Pie crust (Double for covered top pies):

• 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, chilled and diced
• 1/4 cup ice water

Pie filling:

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup packed (dark) brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1 1/2 cups milk

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

2 cups pumpkin puree (canned is fine here - Not pumpkin pie filling though 15 oz can)

Directions:
In a large bowl, combine eggs, egg yolk, white sugar and brown sugar. Add salt (critical for baking, not flavor), cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and cloves. Gradually stir in milk and cream. Stir in pumpkin. Pour filling into pie shell.

Bake for ten minutes in preheated oven at 425 degrees f. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F, and bake for an additional 40 to 45 minutes, or until filling is set. To check filling, stick a clean knife in the middle. If little or no liquid pumpkin sticks to the knife the pie is done. filling will solidify more with cooling.
