Instructions:
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Roll out the pastry into a thickness of about 1/8 inch. |
| 2 | Using the rolled pastry, cut out 16 four-inch circles, ensuring they’re large enough to line the muffin cups. |
| 3 | If needed, re-roll the pastry scraps until you have enough circles for all 16 muffin cups. |
| 4 | Line the ungreased muffin cups with the pastry circles, ensuring they fit snugly. |
| 5 | Loosely cover the muffin pans with plastic wrap and place them in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. |
| 6 | Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) in preparation for baking. |
| 7 | In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, which should take approximately 2 minutes. |
| 8 | Add the pumpkin, evaporated milk, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and cloves to the beaten eggs. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined and the mixture is smooth. |
| 9 | Retrieve the chilled pastry shells from the refrigerator and evenly divide the pumpkin mixture among them. |
| 10 | Place the filled muffin pans in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the center of a pie comes out clean. |
| 11 | Once baked, allow the pies to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. |
| 12 | After cooling, transfer the pies to a wire rack to cool completely. |
| 13 | Serve the individual pumpkin pies with a dollop of whipped cream, dusted with a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor. |
These individual pumpkin pies are perfect for any occasion, from Thanksgiving and Christmas gatherings to weeknight desserts or potluck parties. Enjoy the delicious flavors and the cozy aroma of fall spices in every bite! 🍁🥧
