World's Greatest Pie

• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar 
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups solid pack pumpkin puree
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon orange zest
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup chopped pecans (the original recipe calls for pecan halves, which do look very nice so I frequently use a combo of whole and chopped)
• 1 pre-made rolled pie crust (unless you're one of those folks who make their own crust)

Directions

1. Combine eggs, sugars, flour, spices and salt. Blend in pumpkin. Gradually add milk; mix well.
2. Pour into 9-inch pie shell. Bake in 450 degree F (230 degrees C) oven 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake 40 to 50 minutes longer.
3. Make pecan topping: Combine 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon grated orange rind, 1/4 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup pecans.
4. Sprinkle pecan topping over pie the last 10 minutes before removing from the oven. 
5. Cool well. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
