How to Make Golden Pumpkin Custard Pie

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs until light and frothy.
Gradually whisk in ¾ cup granulated sugar until fully incorporated.
Add ¼ cup all-purpose flour and whisk until smooth, ensuring no lumps remain.
Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree, ½ cup melted unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cloves, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt.
Gradually whisk in 1 cup of whole milk or half-and-half until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
Pour the custard mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The edges should be set and the center just slightly jiggly.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours to allow the custard to set completely.
