crust: mix: 1cup flour 1/2tsp salt add: 1/3cup lard. mix very gently with fingers or fork until it is clumpy. add: 2 tbsp of water, slowly/evenly. mix very gently again. it won't even begin to look like dough. dump the clumps onto a very lightly floured surface and use pressure via rolling pin to turn it into dough, which you should stick in a 9" pie pan. if you use an 8" jobber it will overflow. cover crust with tinfoil completely. put ~2lbs of dry beans in the tin foil. bake crust at 350 for 10min with beans in. take out, take off tin/beans, bake 10 more min, until it just starts to turn vaguely golden. then add the fillin' 8oz cream cheese (handmixerize) 2c pumpkin puree (handmixerize) 1c sugar (handmixerize) 1/4tsp salt 1egg plus 2 yolks 1/4cup melted butter 1/8cup evaporated milk 1/8cup water 1tsp vanilla 1/2tsp cinnamon 1/2tsp ground ginger 1/4tsp ground cloves 1/4tsp nutmeg 1/4tsp allspice (handmixerize) bake until it stops wobbling intensely in the middle. took me like 1:10 @ 350. check at 50 tho!
