Pumpkin Pie

Boil and strain the pumpkins, allowing for three pints two tablespoonfuls of flour, four eggs, one pound of sugar, one tablespoonful of ground ginger, one teaspoonful of salt, and two quarts of milk. Stir all well together while the pumpkin is hot. Butter a pie-dish, line it with a thin layer of short paste, put the mixture into it and bake in a moderate oven for a little less than one hour. Serve the pie while hot.
