How to Make Ultimate Pumpkin Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in shortening or butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface and transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together pumpkin puree, sweetened condensed milk, eggs, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  5. Pour the pumpkin mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for another 40-45 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  7. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving.
