Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup cold butter or shortening
- 3 tablespoons cold water, or more as needed
- 2 cups mashed, cooked pie pumpkin
- 1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, or more to taste
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Mix flour and salt together in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix in 3 tablespoons water, one at a time, until dough is moist enough to hold together. Add up to 1 more tablespoon water if needed.
- Shape dough into a ball with lightly floured hands. Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/8 inch.
- Place a 9-inch pie pan upside-down on the dough; use a sharp knife to cut a circle of dough 1 ½ inches larger than the pie pan. Remove and discard dough scraps and set pie pan aside.
- Gently roll circular piece of dough around the rolling pin; transfer it right-side up over the pie pan. Unroll, easing dough into the bottom of the pan. Use two hands to flute the dough around the top edges.
- Beat pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well combined. Pour into the prepared crust.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the filling 1 inch from the edge comes out clean, 40 to 60 minutes. Cover the edges with foil if needed to prevent from burning.
- Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- Let the pie cool to room temperature before serving for best texture.
- Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator.
