Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
For the Pie Crust:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
1 1\/4 cups all-purpose flour<\/li>\n
1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
1\/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small cubes<\/li>\n
3-4 tablespoons ice water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
For the Pumpkin Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
1 1\/2 cups canned pumpkin puree<\/li>\n
1\/2 cup granulated sugar<\/li>\n
1\/4 cup brown sugar<\/li>\n
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon<\/li>\n
1\/2 teaspoon ground ginger<\/li>\n
1\/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg<\/li>\n
1\/4 teaspoon ground cloves<\/li>\n
1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/li>\n
2 large eggs<\/li>\n
1 cup evaporated milk or half-and-half<\/li>\n
1 teaspoon vanilla extract<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instructions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
1. Prepare the Pie Crust:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.<\/li>\n
Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.<\/li>\n
Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough starts to come together. You may not need all the water.<\/li>\n
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2. Roll Out the Pie Crust:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Preheat your oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C).<\/li>\n
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.<\/li>\n
Carefully transfer the rolled dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Press it gently into the bottom and sides of the dish, trimming any excess overhang.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Prepare the Pumpkin Filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, spices (cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves), and salt until well combined.<\/li>\n
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the evaporated milk or half-and-half and vanilla extract.<\/li>\n
Gradually add the egg mixture to the pumpkin mixture, whisking until smooth and well combined.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
4. Fill the Pie Crust:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Pour the pumpkin filling into the prepared pie crust.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
5. Bake the Pie:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake at 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C) for 15 minutes.<\/li>\n
Reduce the oven temperature to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C) and continue baking for an additional 40-50 minutes or until the pie is set. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the pie is done.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
6. Cool and Serve:<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.<\/li>\n
You can serve it with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
