Quickly bring together the flour, cold butter, half of the salt, and cold water to make tart dough.
Rest the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Cook the pumpkin with a little water for 18 minutes, until soft, then drain and puree.
Fit the dough into a tart pan and par-bake at 185°C for 16 minutes.
Whisk the pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and remaining salt.
Pour the filling into the tart shell and bake at 210°C for 9 minutes.
Lower the oven to 175°C and bake the pie for 38 minutes, until the edge of the filling is set.
Cool the tart at room temperature for 60 minutes before slicing.
💡 Tip: If the pumpkin is very watery, drain the puree in cheesecloth for 10 minutes; otherwise the filling sets but spreads on the plate when sliced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Cool the pumpkin pie completely before slicing and serve with unsweetened whipped cream and Turkish coffee if desired.
