Pumpkin Pie
To fill a 9″ piecrust:
3 eggs
1 cup sugar
0.5 cup maple syrup
1 cup plain mashed or canned pumpkin
1 cup pecans or other nuts
Spice as desired, in the ginger, cinnamon, or clove directions. If a person can’t get maple syrup, you could probably substitute golden syrup or somesuch, but maple is canonical here.
Bake 60 minutes or so at 375F.
Pumpkin Pancakes

I confess we used a standard pancake mix for the base, but you could use any pancake recipe you’ve already got lying around. We mixed in about a cup of pumpkin butter for a good-sized batch of pancakes, it stirred right in with the batter and turned it a lovely pale orange. I’d think you might be able to use canned pumpkin and some spices to get a similar taste to the pumpkin butter, but I don’t know if you’d need to add an additional source of moisture to the thing to keep the batter consistancy right. You might have to experiment.

This recipe uses either two standard loaf pans, or three aluminum foil loaf pans. The foil pans make it easy to give the bread as gifts.
• 1- 3 / 4 cup canned pumpkin (one small can-425g)
• 2/3 cup butter, melted (150g)
• 3 cups sugar (600g)
• 4 eggs
• 3-1/2 cups flour (455g)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (5g)
• 1 tsp nutmeg (5g)
• 1 / 2 tsp cloves (2.5g)
• 2 tsp baking soda (10g)
• 2 tsp baking powder (10g)
• 1 / 2 tsp salt (2.5g)
• 2/3 cup water (160ml)
• 1 / 2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (60g)
• 1 cup chopped fresh or dried cranberries (120g)
Preheat oven to 350F/180C degrees. Combine the eggs, pumpkin, butter, and water in a large bowl. In another bowl, combine all of the dry ingredients, plus the nuts and cranberries. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, and mix with a wooden spoon by hand. Mix until the batter is combined, but don’t over mix. Grease the pans, and distribute the batter equally in the pans (should fill each about half way up). Bake for 1 hour.

Pumpkin Brownies
silksieve: comment to 12/24/2007
1 large can of pumpkin (16 oz.)
1 cup of oil, I use canola
4 eggs
2 cups of flour
1-2 cups of sugar, depending on how sweet you like your brownies. I use 1 cup, which gives the brownies a nice toasted pumpkin aftertaste, but my mom likes 2.
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp salt
cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove to taste. I am very generous with the spices, but you can use 1 tsp each if you’re not sure.
Mix wet ingerdients together, work in the flour, add baking soda/powder, add spices. Pour into a greased (I use canola oil again) 13″ by 9″ pan and bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Toothpick to test for doneness.
