Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cup(s) all ­purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
3 tablespoon(s) shortening, cubed
3 tablespoon(s) cold butter, cubed
3-4 tablespoon(s) cold water
FOR THE FILLING
2 - eggs
1 can(s) (15 ounces) solid­pack pumpkin
1 cup(s) eggnog
1/2 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon(s) ground cloves
FOR THE TOPPING
1/2 cup(s) packed brown sugar
2 tablespoon(s) butter, softened
1/2 cup(s) chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In a food processor, combine flour and salt; cover and pulse to blend. Add shortening and butter; cover and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. While processing, gradually add water until dough forms a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until easy to handle. Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, pumpkin, eggnog, sugar, cinnamon, salt, ginger, nutmeg and cloves until blended. Pour into crust. In a small bowl, beat brown sugar and butter until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Stir in pecans; sprinkle over filling.
  • Bake at 350° for 50-60 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate leftovers.
