Directions

1
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
2
Roll out the pastry dough and line a deep 9-inch pie plate with it, trimming any excess hanging over the edges.
3
Flute the edges of the crust decoratively with your fingers.
4
Lightly brush the bottom and sides of the pastry shell with one beaten egg to help prevent sogginess.
5
Place the prepared pie shell in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the filling.
6
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dark brown sugar, salt, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice, and nutmeg.
7
Whisk the three beaten eggs into the dry ingredients until smooth.
8
Stir in the mashed pumpkin and milk, mixing until the batter is uniform and creamy.
9
Fold in the brandy or rum.
10
Pour the filling into the chilled pie shell.
11
Bake at 450 degrees F (230 degrees C) for 15 minutes to set the crust.
12
Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and continue baking for 40 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean and the filling is just set.
13
Remove from the oven and allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
