Best Pumpkin Pie Recipe

In bowl, combine flour & salt; cut in the shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, towing with a fork until a ball forms. Chill dough. Do not over mix or add more flour than necessary.

Roll out pastry to fit a pie pan. (Do NOT over handle!!) Flute edges if desired. Hint: Cover edges of pie when baking until the last 20 minutes or baking.

Preheat oven to 425 F. Make a single pie crust and put in pie plate.

Mix all remaining ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Pour into uncooked pie shell.

Cook in preheated oven at 425 for 15 minutes. Turn oven down to 350 F and bake an additional 50 minutes. No need to put knife in – it is perfect every time!
