For the All-Butter Pie Crust
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and cut it in using a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some pea-sized pieces remaining.
- Drizzle in 4 tablespoons of ice water and mix gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together. Add more ice water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if needed. Do not overwork.
- Form the dough into a 1-inch thick disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Roll the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the chilled crust with parchment paper, fill with pie weights, and blind bake for 15 minutes. Remove weights and parchment, then bake for 5-7 minutes more until lightly golden. Cool completely.
For the Pumpkin Filling & Assembly
- Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
- In a saucepan, combine pumpkin purée, both sugars, salt, and all spices. Cook over medium heat, stirring, for 5-7 minutes until hot.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Slowly whisk the hot pumpkin mixture into the eggs to temper them.
- Whisk in the heavy cream and evaporated milk until the filling is perfectly smooth.
- Pour the warm filling into the cooled crust. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center has a slight wobble.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack for at least 3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the custard to set fully.
