29 ounce can pumpkin = 3 1/2 cups

Made according to the recipe this is very bland; the recipe is out of context on this site. Maybe it was for low salt or special diets? After tasting the batter I added almost a teaspoon of salt, extra chopped ginger, and half a teaspoon of nutmeg. Much better. I baked it in 10 one-cup custard cups, for about 50 minutes. I served it warm, and wished I'd had a bit of vanilla ice cream on top, but it was a good low fat dessert, and tasty for breakfast.

I used this recipe as a guide and fell back on what I've done for a traditional pumpkin pie filling. So 2 cups pureed butternut squash, 1 12-oz. can of evaporated milk, 3 eggs rather than 2 eggs and 2 whites, and more spice. Running low on sweet ginger bits so used 2 tsp powdered ginger + dash nutmeg + dash allspice + tsp cardamom (+ the cinnamon and cloves, of course). Baking in individual custard cups took about 50 minutes. And it is good!

Made with whole milk, regular powdered milk, 1 T minced ginger (not crystallized), and added 1/2 tsp. fine salt. Delicious and flavorful.
