Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt for the crust.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, whisk together pumpkin puree, evaporated milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the pumpkin filling over the partially baked crust.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use homemade pumpkin puree. You can also add a sprinkle of chopped pecans or walnuts to the top before baking.
