Method

Crust Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Pie Crust

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

  2. 2

    Cut in the Butter

    Add the unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. 3

    Add Ice Water

    Stir in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

  4. 4

    Chill the Dough

    Form the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  5. 5

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a floured surface, roll the dough out to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and trim any excess.

  6. 6

    Pre-Bake the Crust

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and let cool.

Filling Preparation

  1. 7

    Prepare the Filling Mixture

    In a large bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, and salt. Mix well.

  2. 8

    Add Eggs and Milk

    Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the pumpkin mixture along with the evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. 9

    Pour into Crust

    Pour the filling into the pre-baked pie crust, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  4. 10

    Bake the Pie

    Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

  5. 11

    Cool and Serve

    Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with whipped cream if desired.
