步骤说明
- 1
In a large Mixing Bowl, whisk together the All-Purpose Flour, Salt, and Sugar. Add the Butter cubes and use your fingertips or a Pastry Brush to work the Butter into the All-Purpose Flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized Butter pieces remaining — these create flaky layers.
- 2
Drizzle in the Ice Water one tablespoon at a time, tossing gently with a fork after each addition. Stop when the dough just comes together and holds its shape when pressed — it should not be wet or sticky. Add an extra teaspoon of Water only if needed.
- 3
Turn the dough out onto a lightly All-Purpose Flour dusted surface, shape it into a flat disk, and wrap tightly in Plastic Wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 days). Chilling relaxes the gluten and keeps the Butter cold for a flakier crust.
- 4
Preheat your Oven to ![425°F]. On a lightly All-Purpose Flour dusted surface, roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Carefully drape it over your Rolling Pin and transfer to a Pie Dish. Press gently into the bottom and sides, then trim the overhang to about 1 inch beyond the rim.
- 5
Fold the overhanging dough under itself to create a thick edge along the rim, then crimp decoratively with your fingers or a fork. Prick the bottom of the crust all over with a fork (this is called docking and prevents bubbling). Line the crust with Parchment Paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans.
- 6
Blind-bake the crust for 15 minutes at ![425°F]. Carefully remove the Parchment Paper and weights, then bake for another 5 minutes until the bottom looks dry and just barely golden. Remove from the Oven and set aside. Reduce the Oven temperature to ![375°F].
- 7
In a large Mixing Bowl, whisk together the Pumpkin Puree, Light Brown Sugar, Eggs, Heavy Cream, Milk, Cinnamon, Ginger, Nutmeg, Salt, and Pure Vanilla Extract until completely smooth and well combined. Take care not to over-whisk — you want a silky custard, not a foamy one.
- 8
Pour the filling into the warm, blind-baked crust. The crust being warm helps prevent a soggy bottom. Place the pie on a Baking Sheet to catch any drips and for easier handling.
- 9
Bake at ![375°F] for 40–45 minutes. The pie is done when the edges are set and puffed slightly, but the center still has a gentle wobble (about a 2-inch jiggle) when you nudge the pan — it will firm up as it cools. If the crust edges are browning too fast, tent them with strips of Aluminum Foil or a pie shield.
- 10
Transfer the pie to a Wire Rack and let it cool completely at room temperature for at least 2 hours before slicing. The custard needs this time to fully set — cutting too early will result in a runny filling. For the cleanest slices, refrigerate for 1 hour after cooling.
- 11
If making whipped cream, beat the Heavy Whipping Cream and Powdered Sugar together with a Hand Mixer or whisk until soft peaks form. Serve each slice of pie with a generous dollop of freshly whipped cream.
