Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 Cup All-Purpose Flour (Sifted for measuring)
½ Teaspoon Salt
1/3 Cup Shortening
2 Tablespoons Water
1 ¾ Cups Pumpkin Puree
½ Teaspoon Salt
1 ¾ cups Milk
2 Large Eggs
2/3 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Granulated Sugar
1 ¼ Tablespoon Cinnamon
½ Teaspoon Ginger
½ Teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ Teaspoon Cloves

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender or a food processor until the particles resemble the size of peas.
  • Add the water 1 teaspoon at a time continuing to mix until the flour is moist.
  • Gather the dough together and press into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out into a ball approximately 1-inch larger than the pie pan you will be using.
  • Fit the pastry loosely into the pan, trying to avoid stretching the dough. Leaving ½-inch of an edge around the pie pan, trim off the excess.
  • Fold the extra pastry back and under the edge. Use index finger on one hand and the thumb and index finger on the other side to create a high fluted pastry edge. Since this pastry will be filled with a filling, there is no need to dock the pie.
  • The crust is ready to be filled with a filling. Continue with the pie filling recipe.
  • Hint: if you prefer, you can use a refrigerated store-bought pastry crust.
  • In a large bowl add the Pumpkin Puree, salt, milk, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves. Whisk to combine. You can also use a blender or a food processor to quickly blend the ingredients together.
  • Pour the pumpkin mixture into the unbaked pie shell and bake for 45-55 minutes at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Until the custard is set around the edges and the center jiggles just slightly. Hint: If you want to keep your oven clean, place the pie pan on a baking sheet. It will catch any spillage.
  • Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve immediately with whipping cream or refrigerate.

OLD-FASHIONED PUMPKIN PIE



Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie image

This recipe came to me almost 20 years ago from a co-worker, who passed along his wife's recipe. I have never made another pumpkin pie since! Even people who profess to dislike pumpkin pie end up enjoying this one. At the end of a holiday meal, I never have so much as one piece left. To make it a little more fancy, you can serve this with my Recipe #334884.

OLD-FASHIONED PUMPKIN PIE RECIPE BY TASTY



Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Pie Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: all-purpose flour, cinnamon, kosher salt, shortening, ice water, sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, kosher salt, large eggs, canned pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, whipped cream

Provided by Kiano Moju

Categories     Bakery Goods

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
¾ cup shortening, cubed
6 tablespoons ice water
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, plus a pinch
1 ½ teaspoons ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground cloves
¾ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
15 oz canned pumpkin puree
1 cup evaporated milk, plus 2 tablespoons
whipped cream, or ice cream for serving

Steps:

  • Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into the flour until the shortening breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
  • Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir gentle until the dough starts to come together.
  • Dump the dough onto a work surface lined with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Shape dough into a disc and wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
  • Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin and sugar-spice mix and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk until incorporated.
  • Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm)-thick round. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured as needed so the dough doesn't stick. Transfer the dough to a 9½-inch pie pan (24 cm). Tuck the edges under and crimp. Note: The key to flaky pie crust is to handle it as little and as gently as possible. Handle it only as much as is absolutely necessary to mix, shape, and roll out.
  • Pour the filling into the pie shell.
  • Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.
  • Cool the pie on a wire rack for 2 hours.
  • Slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter can make the pie tough.
  • Bake the pie until the center is set. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set.
  • Top the pie with whipped cream or ice cream for a special treat.
