Pumpkin pie is definitely one of my favorite pies. Since I make it myself, I can enjoy it all year round! When you’re serving a crowd, this slab pie is the best solution. Also, the portions are smaller after a huge Thankgiving meal.
Let’s get started!

First let’s work on making a super flaky pie dough. Start by cutting your sticks of butter. Cube them into about 10 pieces. Put the bowl in the freezer while you work on the other ingredients.
Next up, you’re going to mix up flour, salt, and sugar. Put on the paddle attachment of your stand mixer and mix on the lowest setting for a couple of seconds, just to get a good mix in.
Ok, now grab your butter! To get the flakiest crust, everything needs to be super cold, so work quickly!
Gradually put in the butter cubes into the flour mixture.
Don’t over mix the dough at this point. You just want each of the butter cubes to be slightly smashed and lightly coated with flour. As soon as the butter is all added, grab your ice cold water.
I like to prepare the cold water with ice cubes in it to make sure it’s super cold, but remember to remove the ice cubes before adding the water!
Slowly add the water and mix afterwards for a couple more seconds. Again, you don’t want to overwork the dough, mix it just so much that it gets a shaggy texture and starts clinging to the paddle mixer. Also the sides of the bowl should be streaked with flour instead of coated in flour.
If it still hasn’t reach the right consistency, add 1/4 cup more ice cold water to achieve it.
Next, quickly form the dough into a ball with your hands and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.
While the dough is in the fridge, mix together all your pie ingredients in a large bowl: pumpkin puree, eggs, cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, and salt. Cover and put it in the fridge until ready
After at least 2 hours, next preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
Grab your dough and roll it out to fit the pie pan. Don’t worry if it doesn’t make it from your cutting board to the pan in one piece, you can use your fingers to mash together any separated parts.
Next grab your filling and pour it in! Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
Cook for 35-45 minutes at 375 degrees. Your pie is done when you stick a chopstick through the middle of the pie and it comes out mostly clean
Let it cool down before serving, Yum!
