Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 unbaked pie shell
Instructions:
-
Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 300°F (150°C). This ensures that your pie will bake evenly to perfection.
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This step is essential for achieving the perfect texture in your pie filling.
-
Incorporate Wet Ingredients: Once the butter and sugar are creamed, add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the all-purpose flour, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
-
Prepare Pie Shell: Take your unbaked pie shell and place it in a pie dish, ensuring it’s evenly distributed. You can use a store-bought pie shell or make your own if you prefer.
-
Pour Filling: Carefully pour the prepared filling mixture into the pie shell, spreading it out evenly with a spatula if needed. The filling should fill the pie shell almost to the top.
-
Bake: Place the filled pie shell in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, or until the filling is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the pie during the last few minutes of baking to prevent over-browning.
-
Cool and Serve: Once the pie is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. This helps the filling set further and makes for easier slicing. Serve slices of this delectable Old Fashion Buttermilk Pie on their own or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider incorporating a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon into the filling mixture before baking.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, you can make a quick substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk. Let it sit for a few minutes before using.
- To prevent the edges of the pie crust from over-browning, you can cover them with aluminum foil halfway through the baking time.
- Leftover pie can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Simply cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil to maintain freshness.
Whether you’re serving this Old Fashion Buttermilk Pie for a weeknight dessert or as the grand finale to a special occasion meal, it’s sure to impress with its timeless taste and creamy texture. Enjoy every blissful bite of this delightful homemade treat! 🌟
