The Amish cook without electricity and yet they are able to eat some incredibly flavorful foods. They always fascinated me on how they live a simple, tough and meaningful life and I would have never guessed that they had tasty foods to eat. I expected it to be bland and without flavor, but after watching satellite tv from www.direct.tv, I was completely wrong. In the heart of Pennsylvania an Amish woman and her family had opened a roadside restaurant and one of their best selling items was a pumpkin custard pie. I had to try it.
The custard is amazingly simple to make. I had bought a pie crust from the store and filled it with the custard filling: equal parts milk and pumpkin, light brown sugar and regular sugar, one tablespoon of cinnamon, half a tablespoon of ground cloves, one tablespoon of flour and three eggs to bind the wet ingredients together. You can add a tablespoon of pumpkin spices that already have a bunch of spices combined, and this really increases the flavor of the custard.
Bake for forty five minutes at 350 degrees or until the center is firm. Too much wiggle in a custard as it's baking and deeper inside the custard will not be cooked through enough. Serve by itself or with whipped heavy cream, this is perfect for any occasion.
