Prevention Ginger Pumpkin Pie - 4 pts

1/4 cup whole grain pastry flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons canola oil

2 tablespoons cold butter

4 tablespoons ice water

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

2 egg whites

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 (15 ounce) can plain pumpkin

1 cup fat-free evaporated milk

 

 

 

 

In a food processor, combine the flour and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt.

Pulse until blended. Add the oil and butter. Pulse until the mixture

resembles a fine meal. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, as

needed, and pulse just until the dough forms large clumps. Form into a

ball and flatten into a disk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1

hour.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with

cooking spray.

Place the dough between 2 pieces of waxed paper and roll into a 12-

inch circle. Remove the top piece of paper and invert the dough into

the pie plate. Peel off the second piece of paper. Press the dough

into the pie plate and up onto the rim, patching where necessary. Turn

under the rim and flute. Chill in the refrigerator.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk the brown sugar, egg, egg whites,

vanilla extract, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and the remaining 1/8

teaspoon salt until well-blended. Whisk in the pumpkin and milk. Pour

into the chilled crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to

350 degrees F. Bake for 25 minutes, or until a knife inserted off-

center comes out clean. Cool on a rack.
