How to Make Mom's Homemade Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, beat together the pumpkin puree, buttermilk, sugar, eggs, spices (cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg), and salt until smooth and well combined.
  3. Gently stir in the whipped cream (optional).
  4. Pour the pumpkin mixture into your prepared pie crust.
  5. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The pie should be set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
  6. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly and enhances the flavor.
