Ingredients

Pie Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 3 tablespoons milk

Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups canned pumpkin
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream
  • 7 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 1/2 tablespoons evaporated milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pinch ground clove
  • Pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • Equipment: 9-inch pie pan

Directions

Make the Pie Dough: In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and salt and mix to combine. Add the butter and continue mixing until the mixture holds together when you clump it, and there are pecan-sized lumps of butter still visible.

Meanwhile, whisk together the yolks and milk in small bowl.

Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and mix until a dough forms. Transfer the dough to a sheet of plastic wrap, wrap well and store in the refrigerator for several hours. (The dough will keep for several days in the fridge and several weeks in the freezer.)

On a lightly floured work surface, roll half of the dough into a 11 to 12-inch circle about 1/8 inch thick. Line the pan with the dough and crimp the edges. Chill the pie shell for about 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Line the pie shell with aluminum foil and fill with dried beans. Bake the shell until golden brown, about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and beans.

Meanwhile, make the Filling: Lower the oven to 325 degrees F. In a medium saucepan, mix together the pumpkin and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until reduced and thick, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream, milks, vanilla, ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, salt, eggs, and yolk. Pour the filling into the pie shell and bake until set, about 45 to 55 minutes. Cool and serve

    Great!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was the first time I had ever made pumpkin pie and it turned out really well. I was surprised at how easy it was to make... my own dough. I will never be buying premade dough again! My husband loved it too! I can't wait to make it again.Read more

    Excellent Pumpkin Pie

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had never made a pumpkin pie before, so I made sure to follow the directions very carefully. It turned out beautifully! ... The crust has a hint of sweetness, and the filling is perfect, not too firm or too runny.Read more

    Soo good!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I messed up the crust, so I ended up using a store-bought crust, but the filing was awesome! I followed the recipe to the T,... and it came out great! My husband and family loved it, I made it last night and it was gone in two hours! Read more

    Texture too mushy

    Rated: 3 stars out of 5
    I didn't like the texture of the pumpkin filling. Eventhough It was set, the filling was too heavy and mushy. I prefer a... custardy texture. About the crust, I used a store bought one and you do not need to prebake. For info on this method check online at Pillsbury's website. To the lady who had trouble with the crust not cooking, did you use a glass pan and bake the pie on the bottom rack? I think next time I will use the recipe on the back of the label on the can of pumpkin instead. Read more

    Excellent - a definite hit

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    This was the first time I had made a Pumpkin Pie - everyone loved it!! I followed the recipe pretty close but went the... easier route and bought a refrigerated pie crust that just rolled out and baked in the pie pan. Read more
