Opal's Pumpkin Pie

Recipe #102073 | 1¼ hours | 15 min prep | add private note

This recipe makes 2- 9" pies. If you make one large pie instead you will have to add time to the baking to get it done. This recipe was given to me by Opal Beebee, several years ago. This is a handed down family recipe. It was once prepared in the White House for one of the former Presidents. Opal's daughter had served in the National Guard and had met a Pastry Chef who later worked at the White House and called Opal to ask for the recipe for Thanksgiving Dinner at the White House. Do not eliminate the heavy cream IN the pie...the cream and the amount of spices listed is what makes this pie so special. It is good hot or cold. I never tasted hot pumpkin pie until I tasted this one.

SERVES 10 -12 , 2 pies (change servings and units)

    This is a great recipe for pumpkin pie. The balance of spices is perfect for my pumpkin pie lovin' taste buds. I used Kittencal's No-Fail Buttery Flakey Pie Pastry/Crust for the crust and it made a terrific pairing. Thanks, CarrolJ : )

    This was an excellent pumpkin pie! I made it for Thanksgiving dinner (can you tell I am getting caught up on my reviews) and everyone loved it... Turns out more custard like than normal pumpkin pie but this will be the only recipe I use from now on! Thank you very much
