Instructions for Pumpkin Pie
- For crusts, place flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Add shortening. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.
- Continue to pulse adding 1 tablespoon of ice water at a time, until smooth dough forms.
- Remove dough. Divide in half and form each half into a disk. Wrap disks in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
- Once chilled, roll one dough disk out to 1/4-inch thickness and lay into pie plate, trim edges.
- For filling, pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Pour mixture into pie crust.
- Bake 20-25 minutes until filling is set. Remove from oven. Allow to cool before serving.
