In the 1970’s, Grandpa and I took a trip to Williamsburg, Virginia. We visited the historic Colonial Village and we picked up a cookbook that featured many old recipes. This is a vintage recipe for Pumpkin Pie that was dated from 1829. It probably goes back even further than that. It’s very easy to make and it is delicious too.

Great video!
Colonial Williamsburg is my all time FAVORITE place to visit! So excited to have this recipe! Thank you grandparents Feral! Looks SO yummy!!!
I'm surprised it didn't have nutmeg. It seems like they added that to everything back then. It looks very tasty. Thank you
Cant wait to try
Did you use REAL pumpkin, or the canned Squash kind?
Crust:
1 c flour
6T cold butter
4T ice cold water
Put flour in large bowl, cut in flour. Add water and mix with a fork and until it has a nice texture and will form into a ball. Put on floured board. Roll out the dough to 13" circle.
Roll dough on rolling pin and unroll over pie plate. Pat in gently. Press edges and tuck under. Crimp edges (nicely like Grandpa does!). Poke a few holes with a fork.
Bake empty crust at 350degs for 7 min
Filling:
2c milk–whole milk is best
1 beaten egg
1/2t ginger
1/2t cinnamon
1/4c sugar
2T molasses
1c mashed cooked pumpkin
Mix and beat together well.
Pour filling into pie crust. Bake until firm, 60min.
Taste! Plain or with whipped cream. Grandpa likes it with whipped cream.
This pie looks delicious Grandma and Grandpa, Happy Thanksgiving to you both, a little early I know!! Sending lots of love to you both ♥
Yum yum yummy! 😁
Did you know that white flour want created till 1845 and lots of ingredients have changed in 200 years. Fruit is bred to be much sweeter. That is why sugar should usually be reduced in some
recipes.
"Home made is better than store bought any day!"
Roll, roll, roll your dough, gently 'cross the board…. Well done Grandma and Grandpa!
I grew up 25 to 30 minutes from Williamsburg. My parents and I and my siblings went to Williamsburg a lot. My Momma loved the pottery there. I love Williamsburg. Your mixing bowls are from the 70s too. I wish I could find some like them now. My Momma and Grandma had mixing bowls like yours. I like pumpkin pie with whipped cream too Grandpa. Grandpa is a good baker.
hey grapa too his wedding band off lol
I'm from Williamsburg. Thank you Grandma.
With all that work of course it's delicious

Looks delicious. Grandpa is quite the pie crust maker. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoy that pie. I wish I had a piece. Stay well and safe.
Thank you Grandma!And Grandpa too♥
Howdy !! You know, there are just some recipes I love to keep collecting, and pumpkin pie recipes are one of the classifications I continue to keep adding to. So, I will be adding this one for sure. Looks like a very interesting trip and it was interesting to see the pictures. I'll think of you folks and your trip when I make this pie. Thank you for another great video. By the way, I wouldn't be at all surprised if one of the reasons you married Grandpa was because he is a great baker !! Is my hunch correct ???

This looks fantastic! I remember going to Williamsburg in the early 90’s.
Happy Thanksgiving G & G! Great recipe! HI to Lucky!
What a great way to cap off pumpkin season for Grandma! Nothing better than a good ol' pie! Looks yummy as usual.😋 Nice job, Grandpa!
I have 2 copies of the Colonial Williamsburg Cookbook, circa around that same era (1970s or so). One was mine (well used and falling apart), the other was my Mom's (still in good shape). Have good memories of visiting there with my Mom or both my folks at various times. (Dad nabbed an apple once off one of the trees. Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone!😉) Last trip I ever took with Mom (and after Dad passed) we went back there…Brought a photo with me of Dad in the stocks, from that earlier trip; went back to the same spot and had Mom take a pic of me on the other side of the 2-person stock…now have the old photo and the newer one together, so it looks like Dad and I are locked up together at the same time, even though probably 25 years had passed between the two.😂 Should mention also that my grandfather (Mom's dad) was a builder, and he designed his house (which I now live in) with many elements from Colonial Williamsburg. He was a history buff, and Williamsburg was just being cobbled together at the time he enlarged this house. Imagine my surprise when I saw my living room fireplace in the Governor's Mansion!
Happy Thanksgiving to you both, LF, and all the kitties!🦃🥧🧡😘
What kind of pumpkin do you use? A sugar pumpkin or a milk pumpkin? Thanks looks delicious 😋
Thx I do a recipe handed down for 3 generations it's almost same except no molasses. Yum,yum! Happy Thaanksgiving ❤

PS , my mother has that exact same bowl set but in brown and all three nest in each other in perfect shape from the 1970’s 🤓
