Ingredients
Scale
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 ounces Crisco
- 1/8 cup cold water
- 15 ounces pumpkin puree
- 12 ounces evaporated milk
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 large eggs
Instructions
- Combine flour, salt, and Crisco in a large mixing bowl. Use fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
- Make a well in the center and add cold water. Bring mixture from the sides into the center gently without overmixing.
- Shape dough into a flat disc, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Once rested, roll out the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4" thick, ensuring it's large enough to hang over the pie plate.
- Transfer the rolled dough to a 9" pie plate, cut excess leaving a 1/2" overhang, tuck it under for a smooth edge, and crimp for decoration.
Notes
For a spicier pie, feel free to adjust the spices according to your taste.
Using cold water helps keep the crust flaky and tender.
Resting the dough ensures it rolls out smoothly without shrinking.
