Add water all at once and mix until dough comes together in a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill at least 4 hours. (Can be done one day in advance.) Preheat oven to 450ºF. Dust work surface with flour and roll dough out to 1/8" thickness. Carefully place dough into 10" pie plate. Trim edges and crimp border, using thumb and forefinger. Return crust to refrigerator until completely firm. Prick all over with fork.

    PRALINE LAYER: Cream butter and brown sugar in mixer with paddle. Mix in nuts. Spread onto bottom of chilled pie crust and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely. Reduce oven heat to 350ºF.

    For pumpkin filling, in small saucepan, bring milk and water just to a boil. Remove from heat. In large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, pumpkin, sugars, spices and salt. Gradually whisk in cooled milk and water. Pour filling into prepared pie shell and bake until center is set, about 50 minutes. Filling shouldn't move when you jiggle the pie. Let cool and refrigerate until ready to serve. Top with whipped cream.
