Light-Textured Pumpkin Pie

This was the most unique of the pies from the Old Fashioned Pumpkin Recipes. It has a spongy, fluffy texture. The flavor is excellent and after a few bites of confusion, I got used to the unexpected texture and after a few more bites, I was hooked. You'll need a deep dish or be ready for some overflow. As you can see, I overbrowned my pie, so watch for that! And it needs to be well cooled to enjoy. Definitely try this one!
