Vintage Cookery - No Crust Pumpkin Pie

 


My grandmother found this particular pie recipe in a magazine many, many years ago back in the 1970s.  It was an advertisement for Bisquick Impossible Pumpkin Pie and she was kind enough to pass it along tome saying it was one of the easiest and best pumpkin pies she had ever made.  I find that to be very true and it has become one of my favorite go-to recipes as well, often gracing my Thanksgiving table as will be the case this year.

 

No-Crust Pumpkin Pie 

3/4 cup sugar                                                    2 Tbs. butter, melted

1/2 cup Bisquick                                               2 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice                          2 eggs, beaten

1 15 oz. can pumpkin puree                           1 13oz. can evaporated milk 

In a large mixing bowl combine all ingredients and mix well at low speed with your mixer or by hand with a sturdy whisk.  Pour into a lightly greased 9” pie plate.  Bake at 350° for 50 to 55 minutes until center is set.  Allow to cool and place in refrigerator overnight.  Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

 


I’ve made it with regular pancake mix or self rising flour and get the same results.  You can swap out the sugar for the equivalent of low carb sweetener, which I have often done.  For me this pie has the perfect amount of spice and I love the texture of it.  And with some freshly whipped cream it takes it right over the top.  As it bakes it forms its own crust along the bottom and sides.  Give it a try! 😋

  1. I remember this recipe from long ago and I have everything to make it. I think I will do this version this year and add a walnut cinnamon streusel on top. Thanks for the reminder!

  3. Thank You for the recipe. Also Happy Belated Birthday. I was wondering do you think you could use regular All- Purpose flour in place of the Bisquick? The self rising flour has baking soda in it I think, so I was wondering if you use All Purpose flour if you'd have to add some baking soda to it?

    1. You can always make your own self rising flour, I never buy it. Here is a link to how I make mine. Just copy and paste it into your browser. Thank you for the birthday wishes! :o)
