Maggie's pumpkin pie (untested)

This recipe appears to be written in Grammy's handwriting (her handwriting looked different when she wrote in fountain pen). It is undated, but I suspect this recipe pre-dates 1941 (the year she got married).

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cup steamed pumpkin
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ginger
• 2 tablespoons molasses
• 5/8 cup canned milk diluted with 3/8 cup water [probably unsweetened evaporated milk]

Instructions:

1. Beat egg thoroughly
2. Add sugar mixed with flour, salt and spices
3. Add pumpkin, molasses and milk
4. Stir until well-blended
5. Line a deep pie pan with pastry [get the recipe for Never-Fail Pie Crust by clicking here]
6. Pour in pumpkin mixture
7. Bake in moderate oven (350°F–375°F) [no baking time is given but my own experience has been that a pumpkin pie is done when you can stick a butter knife into the filling and have it come out clean]
