Chef's Notes
Ensure your canned pumpkin is pure pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie mix, unless you enjoy an overly sweetened, pre-spiced chemical soup.
Pro Tip
Bring your eggs and milk to room temperature before starting to ensure a smooth, emulsified batter that rises evenly.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using pumpkin pie mix instead of pure pumpkin puree, resulting in a soggy, overly sugary disaster that tastes like a candle factory exploded.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
