I just found this recipe in the Fleischmann's Knead to Know Newsletter. How many times have you gone to the cupboard to find your pumpkin pie spice and it has gone missing? Well, this is the answer. Don't forget to tape this one to your cupboard door!
Q:
I don't have pumpkin pie spice in my pantry. Is there a good substitute for it, or do I need to purchase it?
A:
Pumpkin pie spice is a blend of warm-flavored spices, often including cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and mace. Here's an easy 4-spice blend to use in its place:
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice = 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/8 teaspoon each ground allspice and nutmeg.
Simply increase spice amounts proportionally if you need more.
