Lankan Pumpkin Pie

Filling:
1. Shave a pumpkin with a coconut shaver

...and yes I was doing this in my pjs....


2. Grind cinnamon on a cheese grader


3. Grind cloves on grinding stone out back

4. Grind ginger on a cheese grader
5. Buy condensed milk, preferably the one that is not Caramel flavored
6. Get out adult sized easy bake oven and try to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit
7. Combine all ingredients and pour into crust
Crust:



1. Try finding shortening (yeah, good luck!)
2. End up using some sort of shortening feeling buttery stuff
3. Try and guess at the feel of the dough, as the shortening will NOT work the same.
4. Roll it out, line the pan, and hope for the best!



While baking:
1. Warn your family that the Lankan Carmel pumpkin pie will taste very different from the all American various you imagined and apologize for the large chunks of spices and pumpkin that would not blend.
2. Write blog….. :)

Finished product!
