I dunno about old fashioned but I put in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of almond
extract. Not so much that you really taste it, but enuf so people say
"there's something special here." A couple tablespoons of brandy, ditto.
I've had to go lo-cal, lo-carb, lo-fat, no-sugar after tummy surgery so
lately I've been making a standard recipe, substituting Splenda 1:3 for
the sugar, using lo fat evap milk and egg substitute, then baking in
custard cups with no crust. Using the substitutes "lightens up" the
custard, it bakes quicker. If a miserly slice is1/8th pie it counts about
470 calories. My replacing or cutting out all the good stuff makes 1/2 cup
of punkin custard about *70* calories (about the same as a small apple).
Adding the extra taste gets important.
