Why does the recipe specify to stir using a rubber spatula?
Maybe this is just a little trick that we know about, but since we love all of you, we thought that we’d share this little tip. When you’re stirring the evaporate milk, using a rubber spatula reduces the number of bubbles that you’ll have formed. It might not sound like a big deal, but in the baking world, it is!
Will these mini pumpkin pies rise in the oven?
They will a little bit, but not a ton. The easy way to handle this is to just make certain that you’re not filling them full. Leave some room for there to be some expansion as necessary and you really won’t have any issues.
What toppings go well on these mini pumpkin pies?
We love all sorts of toppings, but the best ones probably have to be whipped cream or even a tad bit of cinnamon and sugar. Some people love to have a dollop of whipped cream to enjoy while others like their pie as is. It’s totally up to you!
This recipe makes up 6 mini pumpkin pies so make certain that you’re sharing with all your family and friends! It’s a wonderful way to sit and be thankful when you have your own entire pie to celebrate with!
