Yield
6 servings
Total Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
Butter for dish
3 large eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1-1/4 cups canned pumpkin puree
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425° and set a rack to the middle position. Butter a 1-1/2-quart souffle dish. Fill a kettle with about 4 cups water and bring to a simmer.
Meanwhile, in a large bowl, using a standing or hand-held mixer, beat the eggs and sugar at medium-high speed for 2 minutes, until thick and pale yellow. Gently fold in the remaining ingredients.
Pour the custard into the prepared dish and set in a baking pan. Transfer both to the oven, then fill the baking pan with enough of the simmering water to come halfway up the sides of the dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350° and bake until the center of the custard barely jiggles when shaken, 30 to 45 more minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
