- Make the crust: Whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disc, wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges. Prick the bottom with a fork.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of evaporated milk. You can also add a tablespoon of maple syrup or brown sugar to the filling for extra sweetness. To make this a gluten-free pie, use a gluten-free pie crust.
