Buttermilk pie is a classic Southern dessert known for its creamy, custard-like filling and sweet, buttery flavor. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for a hint of tanginess)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the pie dish in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.
- Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt. Add the melted butter and whisk until well combined. Stir in the buttermilk, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon juice (if using) until the mixture is smooth.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is set and the top is golden brown. The center should slightly jiggle but not be liquid.
- Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing. This helps the filling set properly.
- Serve: Serve as is or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
This pie is great for any occasion and pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee or tea.
