DONIS CASEY: Write Errant

Happy Halloween, Dear Readers. We’re Trick or Treating today.

In addition to the recipe at the end of this entry, I’m entering everyone who comments between now and November 8 in a drawing to receive a free copy of my newest book, The Sky Took Him, which will be released in January. All you have to do is click on the word “comments” at the very bottom of this entry, and write something in the box. You don’t have to say anything profound – just write “hi, Donis,” if you wish. I’ll put your e-mail address in a hat with the others and draw a winner on November 9. Then I’ll notify the winner by e-mail, and make arrangements to send her or him a copy of the book when it comes out. Good luck!

And whether you make a comment or not, if you bake Impossible Pumpkin Pie, you’ll get a treat that is also a trick! Pumpkin Pie is just the ticket for this time of year, and the following recipe is for the easiest and most amazing pumpkin pie you’ll ever make. This is my mother’s recipe, and I’m presenting it here exactly as she wrote it down.

Impossible Pumpkin Pie

3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs
1/2 cup biscuit mix 1 can (16 oz) pumpkin
2 tsp. butter 2 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 can (13 oz.) evaporated milk 2 tsp. vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 inch pie pan. Beat all ingredients until smooth. Pour into pan. Bake until knife inserted in center comes out clean, 50-55 minutes.

(No, you don’t make a crust. The pie will make its own crust. – Donis)
