Equipment

  • 1 9-inch pie dish
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 oven

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Chilled and diced.
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
  • 2 cups canned pumpkin puree
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup evaporated milk

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • To make the pie crust, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
  • On a floured surface, roll out the dough to fit your pie dish. Place the crust in the pie dish, trimming any excess dough.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Gradually stir in the evaporated milk until smooth and well combined.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking for an additional 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream for an extra treat.
