Ingredients

Pat-in-the-Pan Pastry

  • 1 1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix)
  • 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk

Sweetened Whipped Cream

  • 3/4 cup whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 425°F. In medium bowl, mix flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the oil with fork until all flour is moistened. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all water is absorbed. Shape pastry into a ball. Press in bottom and up side of 9-inch glass pie plate.
  • 2
    In large bowl, beat eggs slightly with wire whisk or hand beater. Beat in 1/2 cup sugar, the cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, ginger, cloves, pumpkin and milk.
  • 3
    To prevent spilling, place pastry-lined pie plate on oven rack before adding filling. Carefully pour pumpkin filling into pie plate. Bake 15 minutes.
  • 4
    Reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Bake about 45 minutes longer or until knife inserted in center comes out clean. Place pie on cooling rack. Cool completely, about 2 hours.
  • 5
    In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and 2 tablespoons sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Serve pie with whipped cream. Store in refrigerator.

  • Think ahead and freeze spoonfuls of whipped cream to use later. Just drop whipped cream by 8 spoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze uncovered at least 2 hours. Then, place frozen mounds of whipped cream in a freezer container. Cover tightly and freeze no longer than 2 months.
  • For this Pumpkin Pie recipe, work quickly as you mix up and press the crust into the pie plate. Be sure your pie plate is a regular 9-inch pie plate versus a larger deep pie plate, as you want the crust to press up high enough on the sides to hold the filling.
  • Read the canned pumpkin label carefully to ensure you’re not buying canned pumpkin pie mix, which already contains seasonings and sweeteners.
  • Stir up your own Pumpkin Pie spice to keep in your pantry—it’s not only delicious in a pie but it’s wonderful sprinkled over root vegetables before roasting them or to season caramelized nuts during the holidays. Mix 3 tablespoons ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons ground ginger, 2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, 1 to 1/2 teaspoons ground allspice, and 1 to 1/2 teaspoons ground cloves. Spoon into a glass bottle or spice tin and store in a cool place.
  • Create your own whipped cream like a barista: beat heavy cream with a splash of flavored coffee syrup instead of sugar. Caramel, hazelnut, or French vanilla are great flavor partners with Pumpkin Pie.
