  • 2 large eggs
  • 3⁄4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1⁄2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1⁄4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1⁄2 tsp salt
  • 1 (15 oz) can pumpkin purée
  • 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk

Directions

  1. Prepare Crust Dough

    1. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the 1 1⁄3 cup of flour with pinch of salt.
    2. Add cubed butter and pulse until mixture is size of peas.
    3. Drizzle in ice water and pulse until crumbs are moistened.

    4. Line pie shell with foil and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake in center of oven until nearly set, about 25 minutes.
    5. Remove foil and weights and bake until crust is pale golden, about 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
