Sour cream pie crust
Makes 2 pie crusts
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
12 ounces (3 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch pieces and frozen
1-1/4 cups sour cream
SPICE MIXTURE
3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1-3/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
PUMPKIN CUSTARD
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons brandy
2 teaspoons Spice Mixture
1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin purée
3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Make pie crust: Pulse flour and salt together in a food processor until combined. Scatter butter over mixture; pulse until butter is the size of large peas, about 20 pulses. Add sour cream and pulse until dough forms one large ball.
Divide dough into 2 even pieces. Turn each onto a sheet of plastic wrap and flatten into a 4-inch disk. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour to let the dough rest. Before rolling dough out, let it sit on counter to soften about 10 minutes. (Dough can be refrigerated up to two days or frozen for up to one month).
