Brad's Pumpkin Pie. Which was an edible flop, but only because I didn't follow the directions. Which tends to help it seems! It was still delicious.

Edible flop? The pie looks good from the photo. What was wrong with it?

I doubled it for two pies and had enough for three (I don't think my crusts were deep enough). I didn't heat the pumpkin, spices and milk and I didn't temper the eggs. They cooked for 90 minutes and they were still really, really jiggly. They were runny warm, but excellent cold. Next time I make it I'll be tempering those eggs =)

Yeah, I found that this recipe makes a lot of filling. There are a couple standard pie pan sizes. I ended up making a couple smaller ones (not sure on the size, maybe 8-inch) and had a ton of filling left over.

I think also, you can bake the filling for a few minutes and then pour in a little more to top it off, then finish baking. (At least, that's what America's Test Kitchen suggested.)
