Ingredients
For crust: 1-1/4 cup gf flour 6 Tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 2 Tablespoons cold vegetable shortening 1/4 teaspoon salt 4 Tablespoons ice water, or more as needed
For filling: 2 large eggs plus 1 egg yolk 2 cups canned pumpkin puree 3/4 cup maple sugar 1-1/2 cups cream 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon salt 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
For rum cream: 1 cup whipping cream 2 Tablespoons rum 3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
Directions
For crust: Place the gf flour and salt in a medium bowl. Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the butter and shortening into the flower and salt mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and mix just until incorporated. Continue to add more ice water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, until you have a smooth dough. Form the dough into a disk, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly gf floured surface. (We use an extra large Silpat - a sort of "rubber" non-stick mat - which really helps prevent the dough from sticking to the bottom surface.) Lightly flour the surface of the dough with gf flour. Roll the pastry to a large round, about 12-inches in diameter. Transfer to a 9-inch pie dish, trim to within 1/2 inch of the pan, and crimp decoratively. You may find that the outer edges will break off before you can fold them under and crimp - just use excess dough and press onto the outer edge to form and even edge then crimp. Prick with a fork, cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 425°F.
Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown in color. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
For filling: Add eggs, yolk and pumpkin to the bowl of an electric mixer and beat well. Beat in sugar, cream, melted butter, salt and all spices. Set the pastry shell on a baking sheet and pour the filling into the crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted 1" from the edge comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
For rum cream: Whip the cream to soft peaks then add rum and powdered sugar and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
Top warm or cold pie with rum cream and serve.
