Fluffy Pumpkin Pie
.JPG)
I found this recipe ages ago in our local newspaper. There is enough filling for 2, 9-inch pies or one 11-inch pie. Line the pie plate with your best pie dough. Make a strong, fluted rim that extends about 1/2-inch above the rim of the dish. Do not prick the bottom of the pastry.

DIRECTIONS
- Preheat over to 450 degrees.
- Blend together the first 13 ingredients.
- Beat the egg whites until slightly foaming.
- Beat in a pinch of salt and continue beating to form soft peaks.
- Beat in the sugar and continue beating to make stiff, shining peaks.
- Beat 1/4 of the whites into the pumpkin mixture and delicately fold in the remainder.
- At once, ladle the mixture into the pie shell(s) filling only to the rim of the pan.
- Immediately, bake the pie(s) in the middle level of the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
- When rim of crust colors lightly, reduce heat to 375 degrees and bake 15 minutes more - lower heat if pastry browns to much.
- Lower heat again to 350 degrees and continue baking another 15 minutes or so, until the filling 2 inches from the edge of the pie is done (when you insert a skewer it will come out clean).
- Turn off the oven, leave door ajar and let pie sit for 20-30 minutes more.
- Serve warm or cold with whipped cream or ice cream.
