Pumpkin Pie

Original recipe

Crust:

1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
6 Tablespoons shortening 
4-6 Tablespoons ice water

Filling:

2 eggs
16 oz Pumpkin, canned
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
¼ teaspoon cloves, ground
1½ cups half and half

Reduced fat/calorie alternative

Crust:

1 cup flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
4 Tablespoons shortening
4-6 Tablespoons ice water

Filling:

3 Egg Whites, large
16 oz Pumpkin, canned
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
¼ teaspoon cloves, ground
1 can evaporated skim milk

In a medium bowl, combine salt with flour. Cut shortening into flour until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With a fork, stir in water. Work the dough into a ball, using your hands. Roll dough into an 11-inch circle. Fit dough into a 9-inch pie pan, leaving a 1-inch overhang. Bend edges under and flute with a fork. Prick the bottom and sides of crust about 25 times with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine all filling ingredients, except milk. Mix well. Gradually add milk, stirring until mixture is well blended. Pour into pie crust.

Bake 15 minutes at 425. Reduce oven temperature to 350. Bake an additional 45 minutes, until set.
