Ingredients

Directions

  1. Prepare and roll out pie pastry. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry. Trim overhang to an even 1 inch all the way around. Tuck the crust under and flute the edges high. Do not prick pastry. Line pastry with a double thickness of foil; add pie weights, if you like. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes to partially bake pastry shell. Remove foil and pie weights. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together eggs, pumpkin and half-and-half. Stir in the granulated sugar, the 1 tablespoon flour, pumpkin pie spice, lemon peel, vanilla and salt. Pour pumpkin mixture into pastry-lined pie plate. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil.
  3. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  4. For crumb topping: In a medium bowl, stir together the 1 cup flour, the brown sugar, and pecans; stir in butter until crumbly.
  5. Remove foil. Sprinkle crumb topping over pumpkin mixture. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and topping is golden and bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Cover and store in the refrigerator within 2 hours. Makes 8 servings.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 4 - 5 tablespoons cold water

  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to side of bowl. Repeat, using 1 tablespoon water at a time, until all the dough is moistened. Form each half into a ball.
  3. On lightly floured surface, flatten dough ball. Roll from center to edges into 13-inch circle.
  4. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin; unroll into a 10-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch pastry. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate. Fold under extra pastry. Crimp edge as desired. Do not prick pastry. Bake as directed in recipe.
