PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Whisk pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, spices and salt in medium bowl until smooth. Pour into crust. Bake 15 minutes.

SUSAN'S PERFECT PUMPKIN ROLL

Steps:

• Set cream cheese and butter out to soften to room temperature. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a 15x10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease and flour the paper. I used Baker's Joy spray to make this step easier. Sprinkle a clean kitchen towel with the 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
• In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. In the large bowl of a mixer, beat eggs, sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Add in pumpkin and beat a few more seconds. Stir in the flour mixture. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until cake springs back when touched. Immediately loosen and flip cake onto prepared towel.
• Carefully peel off the paper. Roll up cake and towel together, starting with the narrow end. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• Beat cream cheese, butter, 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth. Beat in additional 1/4 cup powdered sugar as necessary to make a good spreading consistency. Carefully unroll cake and spread filing over cake.
• Reroll the cake and wrap in plastic wrap or waxed paper tightly. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Slice in 3/4" pieces to serve.

SUSAN'S PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Prepare crust. I do not prebake my crust, and it turns out fine every time. Just line the deep dish pie plate with the crust, trim and flute edges, making them kind of high to hold all the filling.
• Beat the canned pumpkin, condensed milk, eggs, and spice at medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour into prepared crust.
• Bake at 425° for 20 minutes, then reduce heat to 350° and continue baking for 40 to 45 more minutes, until set. Cool to serving temperature. Cut into serving pieces before topping with whipped cream.
• WHIPPED CREAM: Chill your bowl and beaters. I like using a stainless steel mixing bowl because it stays cold. Pour cream into bowl and whip on high speed until almost doubled in volume, but not stiff. Sprinkle on the sugar, and continue to whip until sugar is incorporated and it reaches the soft peaks stage. Serve large dollops on top of pie slices.
