Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter (1 stick)
  • 3 to 4 tbsp cold water
  • 1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg , beaten until frothy
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • pinch of ground allspice
  • pinch of ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 small eggs
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 3/4 cup pecan pieces
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter (1/2 stick)
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tbsp very hot water
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions:

  1. Pie Crust Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the butter and incorporate with your fingertips until the mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal. Sprinkle the water over the flour mixture in tablespoon increments, stirring continuously with a fork. Form the dough into a ball and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  2. Pumpkin Filling Combine all the ingredients thoroughly in a medium bowl; set aside.
  3. Pecan Syrup Combine all the ingredients thoroughly in a medium bowl; set aside.
  4. Assembly Preheat the oven to 325°F. Grease an 8-inch springform cake pan.
  5. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to 3/16 inch. Very lightly flour the top of the dough and fold it into quarters. Carefully place the dough in the greased cake pan. Press firmly in place and trim the edges. Chill for 15 minutes.
  6. Spoon the Pumpkin Filling into the pan, spreading evenly to distribute. Gently pour the Pecan Syrup on top. Bake until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, about 1 hour and 45 minutes. Cool and serve with Whiskey Butter Sauce.
  7. Whiskey Butter Sauce Melt the butter in the top of a double boiler set over gently simmering water.
  8. Beat the sugar and egg in a small bowl until blended. Stir the egg mixture into the butter. Add the hot water and stir until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, about 7 minutes. Remove from the double boiler and let cool to room temperature. Stir in the cream and whiskey.
