Ingredients

325 gr all purpose flour
50 gr sugar
1 gr salt
65 gr butter
95 gr lard
90 gr pack pumpkin
300 gr sugar
350 ml whipping cream
300 ml milk
45 gr all purpose flour
3 eggs
45 ml dark molasses
8 gr cinnamon
2 gr allspice
2 gr salt

Instructions

For Crust: Blend flour, sugar and salt in processor 10 seconds. Add unsalted butter and lard and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, using on/off turns. Blend in 6 tablespoons water. Mix in enough additional water by tablespoonfuls until moist clumps form. Gather dough into ball; divide in half. Flatten each half into disk. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough disks soften slightly at room temperature before continuing.) Roll out 1 dough disk on lightly floured surface to 30 cm round. Transfer to 23 cm-diameter glass pie plate. Trim overhang to 3 cm; fold edges under. Crimp crust edge decoratively, forming high-standing rim. Repeat rolling and shaping with remaining dough disk. Freeze crust 15 minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line crusts with foil; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake crusts until pale golden, piercing with toothpick if crust bubble, about 15 minutes. Cool completely on racks. Maintain oven temperature. For filling: Whisk all ingredients in large bowl to blend. Pour half of pumpkin filling (about 3- 0.75 cups) into each prepared pie crust. Bake pies until filling is set in center, about 1 hour. Cool pies on racks.
