One of the best things about fall of the year is the food. Pumpkin cider and pies are some of the most notable when it comes to food choices. The smell of pumpkin entices all eaters’ noses, and of all the pumpkin foods to choose from, pumpkin pie has to be by far the best. Making the perfect pumpkin pie is not easy but it can be done by following a few simple guidelines. A great pumpkin pie will not only look great, but will have a great texture as well as being fluffy, and have the most important factor, amazing taste. To achieve this, you will have to make the entire pie by hand. No prepackaged foods store items will be acceptable. This all will be made from scratch. In order to make the perfect pumpkin pie, you will need to accomplish these four tasks: *Concoct a recipe for a flaky and fluffy crust *Commit to using fresh ingredients for your filling *Decide on a topping (Whipped cream, streusel, etc.) that compliments your ingredients *Devise a way to bake or combine all three to ensure the finished product is without error. The best crust will be made from ground ginger, cinnamon, sugar, and a pie crust of your choosing. Having a pie crust that isn’t already made is important. Even if it is a just add water crust or the dough for it, those will allow you to add the other ingredients easily in order to ensure the great taste. While the crust isn’t the focus of the pie, it is a complimentary part that can make or break it. The filling is the focal point of the pie and should be made with flavor in mind. There are many different options for having great taste, but my suggestion is to use a real ingredient such as a real pumpkin or, this may surprise you, sweet potatoes which can be a great substitute for pumpkin. However, I would stay away from ingredients like Pumpkin puree or pie fillings as many are made with preservatives that take away from natural taste. Once you have decided on that, it is easy to find a recipe that helps you combine this ingredient into other ones needed to make a tasty filling. If cooking from scratch is a different kind of cooking than you are used to, then you might need some practice before you are able to achieve the perfect pumpkin pie, but with the right ingredients and some practice you will be able to produce a pie to outdo any you have ever eaten before.
