Steps:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out pate brisee to a 13-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim edge, leaving a 1-inch overhang: fold edge under and crimp as desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line crust with parchment and fill with pie weights or dried beans; bake until crust is set, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove pie weights and parchment, and continue to bake until bottom of crust is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Brush crust with egg white; let cool on a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, evaporated milk, brown sugar, cornstarch, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and nutmeg.
- Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees. Pour pumpkin mixture into cooled crust. Bake until center is set but slightly wobbly, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Refrigerate until chilled, at least 6 hours and preferably overnight. Slice and serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a small to medium-sized pumpkin that is deep orange in color and feels heavy for its size. Avoid pumpkins with blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the pumpkin before using it: Roasting the pumpkin intensifies its flavor and makes it easier to puree. To roast the pumpkin, cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place it cut-side down on a baking sheet. Roast the pumpkin at 400°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until it is tender.
- Use a food processor or blender to puree the pumpkin: This will give you a smooth and creamy pumpkin puree. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can also mash the pumpkin with a potato masher.
- Add spices to the pumpkin puree: Common spices used in pumpkin pie include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. You can also add a little bit of vanilla extract or maple syrup for extra flavor.
- Use a pre-made pie crust or make your own: If you're using a pre-made pie crust, be sure to thaw it according to the package directions. If you're making your own pie crust, be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to set the crust and prevent it from becoming soggy. Then, reduce the temperature and continue to bake the pie until it is set.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the pie to set properly.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its rich, creamy filling and flaky crust, pumpkin pie is the perfect way to celebrate the season. So next time you're looking for a delicious and festive dessert, give pumpkin pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
