1 1/4 cup milk
1 5-oz. can evaporated milk
1 9-inch pie shell, unbaked

In a large bowl, combine pumpkin, sugar, salt, and spices. Mix well with an electric mixer. Add eggs, milk, and evaporated milk. Blend until thoroughly combined.
Pour into pie shell. Bake in a 450-degree oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 325 degrees and bake for 45 minutes or until center is set.
