STEP 2 Combine flour and 1 teaspoon salt in large bowl; gently toss to combine. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork until mixture has coarse pea-sized crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until dough begins to come together. STEP 3 Pat dough into round disk on lightly floured surface. Roll out disk until it’s slightly larger in circumference than your pie plate. STEP 4 Transfer pastry to pie plate, gently pressing into pan. Crimp edges of pastry as desired. Set aside in cool dry place. STEP 5 Whisk together pumpkin purée, evaporated milk, and eggs in large bowl until well mixed. Whisk in sugars, maple syrup, salt, and spices. STEP 6 Pour pumpkin mixture into prepared pie pastry. Gently dollop spoonfuls of mascarpone onto top of pie. STEP 7 Bake 20 minutes. Carefully remove pie from oven. Swirl mascarpone by drawing table knife through it and across pie. Return pie to oven; continue baking 30-35 minutes or until set. Cool completely. STEP 8 Serve with a dollop of crème fraiche. We like ours sweetened with a little powdered sugar and a teaspoon of aged whiskey.
