Ingredients
  

Filling Ingredients
  • 2 cups Buttermilk adds a tangy richness that defines the pie's flavor.
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar sweetens the filling beautifully.
  • 3 Large Eggs contributes to the creamy texture.
  • ½ cup Unsalted Butter enhances richness, must be melted.
  • ¼ cup All-Purpose Flour acts as a thickening agent.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract infuses a warm aroma.
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt balances sweetness.
Crust Ingredients
  • 1 9-inch Unbaked Pie Crust can be homemade or store-bought.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • Pie dish
  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare and chill your 9-inch pie crust as you mix the filling.
  2. Combine in a large bowl: whisk together the granulated sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.
  3. Add the eggs and whisk until smooth. Pour in the buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract, then mix until fully blended.
  4. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust, placing the pie dish on a baking sheet.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until the top is golden and the center jiggles slightly.
  6. Cool the pie at room temperature for at least 1 hour, then refrigerate for 1–2 hours.
  7. Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for an extra special touch.

Notes

For best results, ensure buttermilk is at room temperature before mixing. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out with a few moist crumbs. Allow pie to cool completely before refrigerating for neat slices.
