How to Make Potluck Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.
  3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of an ungreased 13x9x2-inch baking pan.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 cup granulated sugar.
  6. Stir in 1 cup milk (whole milk recommended).
  7. Pour the pumpkin filling evenly over the prepared shortbread crust.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
  9. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
  10. Continue baking for 50-55 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. If the crust is browning too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
  11. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
  12. Cover and refrigerate overnight to allow flavors to meld and the pie to set completely.
  13. Cut into squares and serve.
  14. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, if desired.
