Pumpkin pie, traditional recipe

Versión en español

Pumpkin pie is a very traditional American recipe. Thanksgiving besides being the turkey day is the day of the pies, at a minimum you should have apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie and depending on the family chocolate or lemon too. I just made this pumpkin pie because there were not too many guests and I also had a cake.
