This pumpkin pie recipe was created by my great grandmother. She made it for Great Grandpa who didn't want a pie that was too pumpkiny.
My younger brother opts for this pie instead of birthday cake and its the only pumpkin pie I'll eat. It seems that not liking things "too pumpkiny" runs in the family.
Ingredients:
1 C pumpkin puree
1 C sugar
3 Tbsp flour, heaping
1 tsp cinnamon

Ingredients:
1 C + 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 C vegetable oil
2-3 Tbsp cold water

This whipeed cream recipe came from here.
We had left over whipping cream and so I decided to try my hand at something that had always seemed so "Martha Stewart" - read: too hard.
It was actually quite easy and totally worth the time.
Just ask Bennet.
1 C heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp powdered sugar
Directions:
In a large, cold bowl beat cream until peaks are about to form.
Beat in vanilla and sugar until peaks form.
Do not overbeat.
Put a good ole dollop on your pumpkin pie and enjoy your excellence.
