Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of flour
  • 1/4 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cups shortening
  • 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425˚F.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together flour, 1/4 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Add shortening a little at a time until mixture resembles coarse meal.
  3. In a small bowl whisk together vinegar, 1 egg, and water. Pour about ¼ of this mixture into the flour mixture and stir until dough forms a ball. This is the dough for your pastry.

  5. Roll out pastry and fit into a 9 inch pie plate. Pour in pumpkin filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce heat to 350˚F. Bake an additional 45 minutes, until filling is set.
  7. To make Honey Ginger cream: combine whipping cream, 1/4 cup honey, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in a large bowl. Whip until soft peaks form. Chill 1 hour before serving. Place a spoonful on top of each slice of pie.
