Buttermilk pie is a classic Southern dessert with a rich, custard-like filling. Here’s a simple recipe for you to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour until well combined.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. The pie may still jiggle slightly in the center when you gently shake it, but it should not be liquidy.
- Once done, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
- Optionally, you can serve the pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
