1 15 -oz can pumpkin
4 eggs

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pastry, bake pastry until light brown about 5 minutes. Put aside and cool. Beat eggs and sugar, beat remaining ingredients. Pour into cooled pastry pie pan. Place pie on cookie sheet to prevent spills. Bake 15 minutes,. Reduce heat to 325 degrees, Bake 55 minutes or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool. Garnish with whipped cream. Please note this is the temperature I use for my oven. You may have to adjust your oven TO 350 DEGREES.
Make sure you check oven while cooking.

1/2 teas salt
1/2 cup light shortening

mixture in crust.

    My English Grandmother cooked a delicious pumpkin pie apparently, but, alas, I never got to try it. Like the whipped cream in your recipe.

    This sounds just yummy. I make mine a bit different from most folks, and this sounds even more like I like it than mine does.
