You can’t get more country than this homemade pumpkin pie recipe. It was adapted from the Iowa Farm Bureau’s 1929 Farm Cookbook. This holiday pumpkin pie recipe has graced Thanksgiving tables for over 50 years.
Modern touches have been added to this historic holiday recipe. The original recipe calls for a real pumpkin and doesn’t specify an oven temperature because cook stoves back then didn’t have anything to measure temperature with.
The original pie recipe also called for “sweet” milk. This was a common ingredient in old recipes but simply refers to whole milk, which contains all the original fat and is therefore “sweeter.” Whole milk would be the most readily available on an Iowa farm.
