Instructions

1. In a food processor, combine flour, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
2. Add chilled cubed butter and pulse 12-20 times to create a coarse texture.
3. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl and chill in the refrigerator.
4. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, egg yolk, milk, and almond extract. Add to the chilled flour mixture and combine.
5. Knead the dough until smooth, then roll it out between two sheets of floured parchment paper to a 12-14 inch circle.
6. Refrigerate the rolled dough for about 1 hour.
7. For the filling, whisk together brown sugar, flour, and salt in a medium saucepan.
8. Add eggs, pumpkin puree, and spices; whisk until smooth.
9. Gradually whisk in milk and cream, then cook over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until thickened (about 10 minutes).
10. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla extract until melted and smooth.
11. Once the dough is chilled, press it into a greased tart pan and trim the edges.
12. Pour the filling into the prepared crust and bake at 350°F for 35-40 minutes or until set.
13. Cool to room temperature before serving, and refrigerate leftovers for up to 4 days.
