Buttermilk Pie

Buttermilk Pie is outrageously easy, with a luxuriously custard-like creamy filling and a lightly crackled sugar top. Despite being an old-fashioned recipe, this Southern classic doesn’t receive the notoriety it deserves!

Instructions:

Sugar

Unsalted butter, room temperature

Large eggs

Vanilla extract

Salt

All-purpose flour

Buttermilk

Unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Instructions:

Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C). Place your unbaked pie shell on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Cream the Sugar and Butter

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until smooth and well-blended.

Incorporate the Eggs and Flavor

Beat in the eggs one by one, making sure each is fully mixed before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla, salt, and flour until the mixture is smooth.

Add the Buttermilk

Slowly pour in the buttermilk, mixing until everything is combined.

Pour and Bake

Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie shell. If there’s extra, pour it into a small, ungreased custard cup. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until the pie is set and the top is a light golden color.

Let cool before serving.

Enjoy!
