Here’s a step-by-step recipe for a classic pumpkin pie:
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (115g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 2–4 tbsp ice water

- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp ground cloves

Instructions
1. Make the crust
- In a bowl, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the cold butter and cut it into the flour using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough holds together.
- Shape the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the filling
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the pumpkin puree, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and salt.
- Add the eggs and mix until combined.
- Stir in the heavy cream and milk until smooth.
3. Assemble the pie
