INGREDIENTS

Pie Crust:                              

  1. 1 ¼ cups flour
  2. ½ tsp. Salt                                   
  3. 1 tbl. Sugar   
  4. 1 stick of unsalted butter              
  5. 1 tbl. distilled white vinegar
  6. 1 tbl. Ice water

Filling:                                   

  1. 1 can evaporated milk(12 oz.)
  2. 1 can of pumpkin (15 oz.)
  3. 2eggs
  4. 1 tsp. Ground cinnamon
  5. ½ tsp. Salt
  6. ¾ cups white sugar 
  7. ½ tsp. Ground ginger
  8. ¼ tsp. Ground cloves

STEPS:

Pie Crust:

  1. In a food processor pulse flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Then using a box grader shred the butter (or cube it with a knife) and add in the food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form.
  2. Once everything is mixed drizzle in the vinegar and ice water. Then pulse the dough until it is crumbly but holds together. If needed add 1 or 2 more teaspoons of ice water.
  3. Place the dough in plastic wrap or a ziploc bag and let it chill in the fridge for at least one hour.   

Filling:

  1. Preheat the oven to 425oF
  2. In a small bowl combine the salt, sugar and spices.
  3. In a large bowl beat the eggs. Add in the pumpkin and then add the sugar mixture.
  4. Gradually add the evaporated milk.

Assembly:

  1. Roll out the pie dough and place in a pie tin.
  2. Pour in the filling (may be very liquidy). Don’t pour it all in at once because you may have extra.
  3. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 then bring the temperature down to 350 and bake for 40 to 50 min.
  4. Once it is out of the oven let it cool.
  5. Your pie is now ready to be refrigerated or served!
