From CDT Wens 30th 2000 M Houser age 9, Blue Ribbon Pie winning recipe on his first try at entering the fair's pie category.
" We never expected this." said his Mother, who taught M to bake when he was old enough to stand on a chair. He
doesn't have to look at a recipe and "he cracks his eggs one handed." Pretty good for a 4th grader. Why no other
spices? Well M doesn't like nutmeg or allspice.
Ingredients:
Shell
3 cups flour
1 cup butter flavor shortening
3 tablespoons butter flavor shortening
5-8 tablespoons full of ice cold water

1 1/2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
4 eggs
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin

and fold them under.
