Steps:
- For mom's flaky pie dough: Combine the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until combined. Gradually add the butter chunks and pulse until the largest chunks are pea-size. Add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time and pulse just until the dough begins to clump together against the walls of the processor. Dump the dough out onto a work surface and press together to make a cohesive ball, kneading once or twice if it is falling apart. Divide the dough in half, wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 portion of the dough for 1 hour before using. (You'll be using only 1 portion of dough for the pie, so wrap the extra piece in a second layer of plastic wrap, put in a resealable plastic bag and freeze for another time.)
- On a well-floured surface with a well-floured rolling pin, roll the dough into a 9- to 10-inch round and transfer to an 8-inch pie plate. (If the rolling pin and work surface quickly become sticky, refrigerate the dough until firm, or, using a large spatula or bench scraper, transfer the dough to an 8-inch pie plate and press it into shape.) Crimp the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate the pie shell for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper or foil in the pie shell and fill with pie weights, raw rice or dried beans. Bake until the edges are lightly golden, about 15 minutes. Remove the weights and paper and bake until golden and cooked on the bottom and sides, about 15 minutes more. Reduce the oven temperature to 300 degrees F.
- For the pumpkin pie filling: Combine the pumpkin, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and salt in a large bowl and whisk until thoroughly blended. Stir in the bourbon, vanilla and eggs. Whisk again until thoroughly blended.
- Pour the pumpkin mixture into the pie shell and smooth the top with an offset spatula. Bake until the center wobbles slightly when shaken, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Cool completely on a rack for about 2 hours. Serve with Cinnamon-Buttermilk Whipped Cream.
- Add the heavy cream and buttermilk to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until foamy. Gradually add the sugar and cinnamon while beating, then continue to beat until soft peaks form.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Prepare pie crust by mixing together the flour and salt. Cut shortening into flour; add cold water 1 tablespoon at a time (you may need only 3 tablespoons, or up to 4 tablespoons). Mix dough and repeat until dough is moist enough to hold together.
- With lightly floured, hands shape dough into a ball. On a lightly floured board roll dough out to about 1/8 inch thickness. With a sharp knife, cut dough 1 1/2 inch larger than the upside-down 8- to 9-inch pie pan. Gently roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer it right-side up onto the pie pan. Unroll, easing dough into the bottom of the pie pan.
- In a large bowl, beat pumpkin with evaporated milk, eggs, brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and salt with an electric mixer or immersion blender. Mix well. Pour into a prepared crust. Bake 40 minutes or until when a knife is inserted 1 inch from the edge comes out clean.

PUMPKIN PIE - PRIZE RECIPE
I thought this pumpkin pie had such a great flavor and so did the other members of my group. This pie was over liked over Sam's Club pie which wasn't bad. I had a piece of this at a gathering and I thought it tasted so great! When the lady who made this pie made this she said she used evaporated milk. Which gave this pie such a custard texture. When I made this pie I used a premade pie crust.

Steps:
- Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut shortening into the flour until the shortening breaks down into pea-sized pieces.
- Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir gentle until the dough starts to come together.
- Dump the dough onto a work surface lined with 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Shape dough into a disc and wrap tightly with the plastic wrap. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425˚F (220˚C)
- Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the pumpkin and sugar-spice mix and whisk to combine. Slowly whisk in the evaporated milk until incorporated.
- Once the dough has chilled, lightly flour a clean surface. Roll out the dough to a ¼-inch (6 mm)-thick round. Keep the surface and rolling pin floured as needed so the dough doesn't stick. Transfer the dough to a 9½-inch pie pan (24 cm). Tuck the edges under and crimp. Note: The key to flaky pie crust is to handle it as little and as gently as possible. Handle it only as much as is absolutely necessary to mix, shape, and roll out.
- Pour the filling into the pie shell.
- Bake the pie for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 350˚F (180˚C) and bake for another 40 minutes, or until the center jiggles slightly.
- Cool the pie on a wire rack for 2 hours.
- Slice and serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
- Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh pumpkin puree. Fresh pumpkin puree has a more intense flavor than canned puree. To make your own pumpkin puree, simply roast a pumpkin in the oven until it is soft, then scoop out the flesh and puree it in a food processor.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the pie tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pie until it is set. The pie is done baking when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
- Serve the pie with whipped cream or ice cream. This will add a delicious finishing touch to the pie.
Conclusion:
Pumpkin pie is a classic fall dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, pumpkin pie is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. Follow these tips to make the best pumpkin pie ever.
