Making Thanksgiving Pie

Our grandson Reed was up early (still in PJs) to help grandma make pumpkin (butternut squash) pies for the big meal. First make the pie dough.



Mix the ingredients.



The dough is ready to rest in the refrigerator.



With the pie dough resting in the refrigerator its time to put on some work clothes and make the pie filling. Start with the dry ingredients. White sugar and then brown sugar.



Add the spices. A little of this and a little of that other stuff from the spice rack.



Time to crack a few eggs.



Add 6 eggs (without shells)



Mix thoroughly.



Now add the precooked butternut squash.



Add evaporated milk.



Mix thoroughly.



Set the pie filling off to the side and roll out the chilled dough.



Place the pie dough in pie pans.



Pour the pie filling into the pie pans.



Place the pies in a preheated oven and bake.
