1 egg
2 eggs
1 (29 ounce) can pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
2/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon allspice

1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

  • Spoon into a 9" x 13" greased pan and press lightly to form an even layer. Bake for 10 minutes and remove, but leave the oven on.
  • FILLING: Beat two eggs until foamy. Beat in pumpkin, milk, spices and 1/4 cup of brown sugar. Pour on top of baked layer. (It should be liquidy but don't worry - it will bake up fine.).
  • TOPPING: Combine reserved crumb mixture with 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup butter. Sprinkle to form an even layer of crumbs on top of the pumpkin batter.
  • Bake until custard is slightly set in the center, about 30-40 minutes. Let cool completely.
