Traditional Pumpkin Pie

Usually I prepare two different desserts for our holiday dinner, but one of them must be pumpkin pie—otherwise, it just wouldn’t seem like Thanksgiving. My version calls for more eggs than most, making this pie’s pumpkin custard fillings especially rich-tasting. —Gloria Warczak, Cedarburg, Wisconsin
