Praline Pumpkin Pie (Paula Deen)

"If you are partial to sweet potatoes (as I am), substitute them for pumpkin. From The Lady & Sons Savannah Country Cookbook and then updated from her Kitchen Classics to include 2 more eggs (original recipe just called for 3 whole eggs, separated)."

Questions & Replies

  1. I am confused as to the eggs, so 3 whole eggs plus 2 yolks go into the pie?

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7. I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
