Description

Few things speak to this Texan’s heart like pie. And one that truly takes me back to my childhood is my Nana’s Buttermilk Pie. It is a light-textured custard pie that, while sweet, is a refreshing and easy-to-make treat.

Ingredients

  • 3 whole Eggs
  • 1-½ cup Sugar
  • 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, Melted And Cooled
  • ¾ cups Buttermilk
  • ¼ teaspoons Table Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 whole 9 Inch Unbaked Pie Crust

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 ºF.

Cream together eggs and sugar using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer. Drizzle in melted butter and mix well. Add buttermilk, salt and vanilla. Pour into an unbaked pie shell.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 40-45 minutes or until set. (The top will form a little bit of a crust, so it may be difficult to tell, but you do not want to over-bake this. I would be hesitant to cook it for longer than the 45 minutes … maybe 46 minutes.)

Cool completely. It is best when made ahead of time and refrigerated to allow the custard to really set up. Serve either cold from the refrigerator or at a cool room temperature.

Just pulled this out of the oven. SO easy to make. I used a pie pan that was a bit shallow, so I had some extra filling and another crust, so I made a few mini tarts too and ate those already. YUM! This may become a regular Thanksgiving pie for me.

Made this today. BIG MISTAKE.

(only because I ate 1/4 of it!!)

Delicious with a raspberry coulis.

This was a super easy filling to make. I par baked the crust a bit- 425 for 15 min then 350 for another 10, because I never trust this type of recipe to adequately bake a crispy bottom crust without this step.
I found the pie VERY sweet, will probably try decreasing the sugar in the future, but do enjoy the lightness and flavor of the custard,

making this one for the second time. It’s in the oven now using 1 and 1/4 c. sugar and a tsp. of flour to make up for the decreased sugar. Thanks jessica, it’s delish.
