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!
