Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

For pastry
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
For filling
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
2 cups heavy cream
1 (15-oz) can solid-pack pumpkin (not pie filling; a scant 2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of ground cloves
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
Accompaniment: lightly sweetened whipped cream
Special Equipment
A pastry or bench scraper; a 10-inch fluted metal quiche pan (2 inches deep) with a removable bottom; pie weights or raw rice

Steps:

  • Make dough:
  • Blend together flour, butter, and salt in a bowl with your fingertips or a pastry blender (or pulse in a food processor) until most of mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Drizzle evenly with 4 tablespoons ice water and gently stir with a fork (or pulse in processor) until incorporated.
  • Squeeze a small handful of dough: If it doesn't hold together, add more ice water, 1/2 tablespoon at a time, stirring (or pulsing) until incorporated, then test again. (Do not overwork dough or pastry will be tough.)
  • Turn mixture out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 4 portions. With heel of your hand, smear each portion once or twice in a forward motion to help distribute fat. Gather all of dough together with scraper and press into a ball, then flatten into a 5-inch disk. Chill dough, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap, until firm, at least 1 hour.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 14-inch round, then fit into quiche pan and trim excess dough flush with rim of pan. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Bake pie shell:
  • Lightly prick bottom of shell all over with a fork, then line with foil and fill with pie weights. Put quiche pan on a baking sheet and bake pie shell until side is set and edge is pale golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Carefully remove weights and foil and bake shell until bottom is golden, about 10 minutes more. Cool completely in pan on a rack, about 30 minutes.
  • Make filling while shell cools:
  • Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 3- to 3 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Boil syrup, washing down side of pan occasionally with a pastry brush dipped in cold water and gently swirling pan (do not stir), until mixture is a deep golden caramel, about 10 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to moderate and carefully add 1 cup cream (mixture will bubble vigorously), stirring until caramel is dissolved. Stir in remaining cup cream and bring just to a simmer.
  • Whisk together pumpkin purée, spices, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk in hot cream mixture, then add eggs, whisking until combined well. Pour filling into cooled crust and bake until puffed 1 1/2 inches from edge and center is just set, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool in pan on a rack, about 2 hours. (Pie will continue to set as it cools.) Remove side of pan before serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. The butter adds flavor, while the shortening helps to create a flaky texture.
  • When measuring flour, use the spoon and level method to ensure accuracy. Avoid scooping flour directly from the bag, as this can lead to a dense crust.
  • For the smoothest pumpkin filling, use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin until it is completely smooth.
  • Be sure to strain the pumpkin puree to remove any lumps or fibers. This will ensure a smooth and creamy filling.
  • When cooking the pumpkin filling, stir it constantly to prevent it from scorching.
  • Allow the pumpkin pie to cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and prevent it from becoming runny.
  • Serve the pumpkin pie with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for an extra special treat.
