Pump. pie pulling away fron shell

Nov 16, 2004 1 Replies

Many years ago a lady told me what to do to keep your pumpkin pie filling from pulling away from the shell after it is cooled ect. I can't remember what it is. Anybody got any ideas to help me out. Theyalways loo so pretty until this happens. Thanks in advance--Sherry


I have never seen this happen. My guess would be not to over bake it. The more you heat a custard, the tighter the proteins become. That will casue shrinkage and will also cause moistue to accumulate on the surface.
