Amish Neck Pumpkin Pie
Honestly, I’d never heard of a Neck Pumpkin, also called a Crook-Neck Pumpkin, but my friend, Cindi, swears it’s the best for making pumpkin pie. Once I got over the visuals (some big redneck guy getting ready to toss a pumpkin at a house), I decided to do a little investigation. It turns out this is a favorite pumpkin for lots of pie bakers. It’s a good thing I have friends who cook. Here is her recipe:
You need
Sprinkle nutmeg over top. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until filling is set and lightly brown on top.My preference is to make a homemade crust. It makes the pie taste all that much better.
Homemade Pastry Crust Recipe
Divide pastry in half, and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes. Roll out on lightly floured surface until it fits a pie pan. Transfer to pie pan,trimming edges to fit. Proceed with pie recipe.
