Maple Pumpkin Pie
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Nothing says "holidays" like pumpkin pie. The addition of maple syrup gives it a snappy New England accent.
Ingredients:
1-1/3
cups all-purpose flour
1/3
cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, divided
3/4
teaspoon salt, divided
4
to 5 tablespoons ice water
1
can (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1
cup evaporated skimmed milk
1
teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2
teaspoon ground ginger
Light nondairy whipped topping (optional)
Preparation:
1.
Combine flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in medium bowl. Cut in shortening and margarine with pastry blender or two knives until mixture forms coarse crumbs. Mix in ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture comes together and forms a soft dough. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
2.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out pastry on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut into 12-inch circle. Ease pastry into 9-inch pie plate; turn edges under and flute edge.
3.
Combine pumpkin, remaining 1/3 cup sugar, egg whites, milk, syrup, cinnamon, ginger and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl; mix well. Pour into unbaked pie shell. Bake 15 minutes; reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Continue baking 45 to 50 minutes or until center is set. Transfer to wire cooling rack; let stand at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm, at room temperature or chilled with whipped topping, if desired.
