I’m making the Amish Pumpkin Custard pur , my 9in. Pie pan is very shallow, can I use a 8×8 glass square baking dish it’s deeper, wondering if it would need to be cooked a lil longer!
Lana, yes you could, if it’s deeper and bake 5 to 10 minutes more and keep checking it. 🙂
My husband has to know. What makes this a custard pie? There isn’t any custard in the recipe. I simply told him, I don’t know. Lol!!
A pumpkin pie is mostly pumpkin, with little dairy, egg and flavorings, whereas a pumpkin custard is mainly a custard with a less pumpkin thrown in for flavoring, richer and creamier. Hope that helps? Happy Thanksgiving!
I ended up with about a cup too much and my pie plate was 10”
Hi Chocola I have a custard pie recipie that makes it’s own bottom crust can I do that with this pie? Thank you and Happy Thanksgiving.
I don’t see why not Lorie. Let me know how it works out! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
I found if I beat my egg whites too much it made it bubbly. I used a mixer. Not doing that next time.
