Ingredients
Method
Pumpkin Pie Filling
- Set oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, beat eggs thoroughly until completely broken up. Add pumpkin, both milks, salt, and spices; whisk until fully incorporated.
- Transfer mixture to an unbaked pie crust and set on a baking sheet for easier handling. Bake 15 minutes, then reduce oven to 350°F (175°C) and continue baking another 30-40 minutes, until edges are set and surface is slightly puffed. Note: See my notes in the post about how to know when your pie is done. Mine took longer than Libby's states, so don't be surprised if yours does too.
- Let pie cool on a rack for 2 hours before slicing. If not serving within 2 hours, refrigerate loosely covered.
Pie Crust (this recipe makes 2 crusts)
- In a food processor, pulse flour and salt a few times to combine. Add cold butter chunks and pulse about 20 times until mixture resembles coarse meal.
- With processor running, add ice water a little at a time, pulsing just until dough forms a clump. This will take under a minute. NOTE: you may not need all of the water, but you may also need a little more, so feel free to adjust.
- Turn dough onto a floured surface and gather into a ball. If dry flour remains, knead it in until incorporated. If dough is too sticky, add a touch more flour.
- Divide dough in half, shape into two flat disks, and wrap each in plastic. Refrigerate for 2 hours (or overnight) before rolling. You can freeze the extra disk of dough for later.
