Steps:
- Cut pumpkin in half and remove seeds. Place cut side down on a cookie sheet lined with lightly oiled aluminum foil. Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the flesh is tender when poked with a fork. Cool until just warm. Scrape the pumpkin flesh from the peel. Either mash, or puree in small batches in a blender.
- Increase oven temperature to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C.)
- In a large bowl, slightly beat eggs. Add brown sugar, flour, salt, 2 cups of the pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and evaporated milk. Stir well after each addition.
- Pour mixture into the unbaked pastry shell. Place a strip of aluminum foil around the edge of the crust to prevent over browning.
- Bake 10 minutes at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake an additional 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Remove the strip of foil about 20 minutes before the pie is done so that the edge of the crust will be a light golden brown.
- Cool pie, and refrigerate overnight for best flavor.

Tips:
- Choose the right pumpkin: Look for a sugar pumpkin, which is a small and sweet variety that is perfect for pies. Avoid using a large, field pumpkin, which is less flavorful and has a stringy texture.
- Roast the pumpkin: Roasting the pumpkin brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the pumpkin until it is very soft, so that it is easy to puree.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to puree the pumpkin until it is smooth and velvety. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can use a potato masher, but it will take more time and effort.
- Don't overmix the pie filling: Overmixing the pie filling can make it tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Bake the pie until it is set: The pie is done baking when a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overbake the pie, or it will be dry.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. By following these tips, you can make the best pumpkin pie ever. So what are you waiting for? Get baking!
