- .RZ "PUMPKIN PIE III" "A Pumpkin Pie with flour"
- This is my mother's recipe for her traditional Thanksgiving dinner pumpkin
- pie. It is different from most other pumpkin pie recipes in that flour
- and brown sugar are used in the batter. Even my wife, who is not a big
- pumpkin pie fan, thought this was a yummy pie.
- .PP
- When my parents first got married, every pumpkin pie my mom made for my
- dad was rejected with the comment ``it's not like mother used to make.''
- She even tried to use his mother's recipe, but she could not follow it:
- his mother used ordinary kitchen utensils for measuring devices (like
- a teacup for a ``cup,'' a real table spoon for a ``tablespoon,'' etc.).
- She finally found a recipe that looked similar to grandma's. Through the
- years she has altered it slightly to make the pie even more tastier.

- Make sure you get just pumpkin. Don't use a can of ``pumpkin pie mix''
- instead! If you were very ambitious, you could gut a pumpkin yourself for
- this recipe, but I have never had the time or courage to do that.
- .PP
- You can buy a pie shell crust or you can make your own. Certainly, the
