Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup cold water
- 1 can (15 ounces) pumpkin puree
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup evaporated milk
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the mixture with the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and place in the prepared pie plate. Crimp the edges of the dough.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the pumpkin puree, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Stir in the evaporated milk.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust. Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool before serving.
