Preparation
- Make your homemade pie dough by mixing flour, salt, and diced butter until coarse crumbs form, then add ice water gradually and chill for 30-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut pumpkin in half, scoop out seeds, and roast cut-side down for 35-40 minutes until tender.
- Once cooled, scoop out pumpkin flesh and blend until smooth, ensuring it is well-drained.
- In a saucepan, whisk together sugars, spices, and cornmeal, then stir in pumpkin puree, bourbon, and vanilla until smooth.
- Remove from heat, cool slightly, then whisk in cream and eggs until fully combined.
- Roll out pie dough and fit to a 9-inch pan, crimping edges. Fill with pumpkin mixture, bake at 425°F for 15 minutes, then lower to 350°F for 30-35 minutes.
- Cool pie at room temperature for 2-3 hours and refrigerate for another 2 hours before serving.

Notes
Ensure the pumpkin puree is well-drained to avoid a watery filling and use fresh spices for the best flavor.
