Follow the steps, Nov. 25

Similar to Kimesha, I decided to research a pie recipe that would satiate my friends and family. Mind you, it’s been quite a while since I baked from scratch, two to three years, so I was pretty rusty at it. The recipe seemed simple enough to produce a pretty well done pumpkin pie but I had messed this up quite a bit. Though, all of the ingredients and instructions were listed on the site. The instructions seemed quite simple but I chose not to listen to each step because my hunger got a hold of my mind. The instructions did say to cool it off completely but not the filling  had not completely set so I destroyed what was my pie and instead became pumpkin soup and crust. If I followed all of the instructions then I should have had this:Sugar & Spice Pumpkin Pie with Brandied Ginger Cream recipe

But instead, what I had was a “pie” with a soupy consistency. Had I followed the instructions that was included I should have had a beautiful looking pie but since I didn’t follow the steps perfectly I had created an excellent tasting pumpkin pie “smoothie”. Maybe if there was a video included in this website, demonstrating the steps this wouldn’t have happened. As with all process documentations, not everything can be guaranteed unless you follow the instructions to an exact point. Had I not known what a pie looked like, I could’ve assumed that what I had was the correct image of a pie. Thankfully, there were pictures to show me my mistakes.
