Day 16 – Baking with Abby (and Becca!)

November 16, 2011

Next Tuesday we are having a pie bake-off at work and so I figured I should try out a recipe tonight to see if it will work for next week.  And as it would have it I was long overdue for a video chat with Becca so I combined them into one awesome evening!  I used this Alton Brown Classic Pumpkin Pie recipe, but instead of nutmeg I used pumpkin pie spice, I left out the spare egg yolk and generally ignored the whole “eat the filling” idea.  But I was most interested in the Gingersnap cookie crust anyways.  Here is what I did:
