Number Of Ingredients 17

3/4 cup(s) chopped pecans, toasted
1 cup(s) plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
7 tablespoon(s) shortening
2 tablespoon(s) plus 1 teaspoon ice water
FOR THE FILLING
2 - eggs
3/4 cup(s) sugar
1 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon(s) ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
1 can(s) (15 ounces) solid-pack pumpkin
1 can(s) (12 ounces) evaporated milk
- whipped cream, optional
- additional ground cinnamon, optional

Steps:

  • Place pecans in a food processor; cover and process until finely ground. In a large bowl, combine the pecans, flour, ginger and salt. Cut in shortening until mixture is crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of an ungreased 9-in. pie plate.
  • For filling, in a large bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, spices and salt until smooth. Beat in pumpkin. Gradually beat in milk. Pour into crust.
  • Bake at 400° for 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cover edges with foil during the last 15 minutes to prevent overbrowning if necessary. Cool on a wire rack. Garnish with whipped cream and additional cinnamon if desired. Refrigerate leftovers.
