Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie

Americans love their pie. Pie has always been a favorite dessert in most American households. It takes good cooking skills to make a really delicious pie and that is why some refrain from making a home made pie, especially during the holidays. A good pie begins with a good crust. The crust should be tender and flaky. It should easily crumble when a fork or knife is sliced through it. And of course the crust should have a good taste. The preparer could buy the pastry shell or the more experienced might wish to make their own pastry shell. Here is an old fashioned pumpkin pie recipe that is great for the holidays or anytime of the year.
