Recipe by The Good Housekeeping Test Kitchen We debuted our favorite pumpkin pie in 1946. We kept the shortening in the crust for flakiness and added fresh ginger for a major flavor boost.

Ingredients

2 recipes 2-Pie Pastry
1 28-oz. can pure pumpkin
1 tsp. grated peeled fresh ginger
4 large eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. granulated sugar
2 tsp. pumpkin spice
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 c. whole milk

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. On floured surface, with lightly floured rolling pin, roll one of the 2-Pie Pastry recipes to 1/8-inch-thick oblong. Cut out three 6-inch circles. Tuck each circle into one 4. 5-inch tart pan with removable bottom*. Repeat with remaining disks pastry and 9 more tart pans.
Place pans on large cookie sheets; freeze 20 minutes. Line each with parchment; fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake 12 minutes or until dry. Remove parchment and weights. Bake another 8 to 10 minutes or until just golden. Transfer to wire rack.
In 4-quart saucepan, cook pumpkin and ginger on medium-high about 10 minutes or until mixture is dry and pasty, stirring often. Remove from heat.
