Buttermilk Pie

Okay so have you ever heard of a buttermilk pie? Well I will tell you it is the best of both worlds. It is like a custard pie without to much egg and it is rich evil deliciousness. I ate my first buttermilk pie when I was about 12. My mother went on a pie kick and this pie was a long time favorite of mine. The first one I made about 18 years ago did not set up and I stayed mad at it for about 18 years.

On my last trip to Little Rock my mother handed over the family recipes and I found this pie. 

So I decided I would make it again problem is my mother left a few things off of the recipe list and I just about had a heart attack! One was the buttermilk and the other was the flour. But we fixed that and here it is. 

2 cups sugar

3 eggs slightly beaten

4 tablespoons four

1 cup buttermilk

1 stick of butter

1 and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract.

One raw pie crust or if you like your favorite recipe of pie crust.

Method:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

You will need one deep dish pie or two regular pie plates.

Step one: Cream sugar and butter and flour.

Step two: add eggs, vanilla mix, then add buttermilk. Mix until it comes together well.

Step three: Pour batter into pie crust.

Step Four: Bake for 5 minutes on 400 degrees

Step Five: reduce heat to 350 degree's and bake for 35 minutes or until a knife comes out almost clean and it does not jiggle much.

Serve warm or cool. If serving warm ice cream may be good with this pie. 

Happy Pie Baking!
