Oh yes 😋—Buttermilk Pie is a classic Southern dessert: creamy, tangy, and just the right amount of sweet. Here’s a complete guide:
Ingredients (1 9-inch pie)
Crust
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
Filling
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: ½ tsp nutmeg or cinnamon for a warm touch
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan.
2️⃣ Make the filling
- In a medium bowl, whisk together sugar and flour.
- Beat in eggs until smooth.
- Add buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, salt, and optional nutmeg. Mix until fully combined.
3️⃣ Assemble
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Smooth the top with a spatula.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is just set (it may jiggle slightly).
- Optional: cover the edges of the crust with foil after 30 minutes to prevent over-browning.
5️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
- Chill in the fridge for 1–2 hours for firmer slices.
- Serve plain or with whipped cream.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overmix: once you add buttermilk, mix gently to keep filling silky.
- Check doneness: a knife in the center should come out mostly clean with a little residue.
- Flavor twists: add a splash of bourbon or orange zest for a unique Southern twist.
