Here’s a classic, easy Buttermilk Pie recipe—sweet, tangy, and creamy:
Ingredients (for 8 servings)
For the crust:
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
For the filling:
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional: pinch of nutmeg for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- Preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare crust:
- Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
- Make filling:
- In a bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, and salt.
- Beat in eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Assemble pie:
- Pour filling into prepared crust.
- Optional: sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top for extra flavor.
- Bake:
- Bake for 50–60 minutes until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool completely before slicing; filling firms as it cools.
💡 Tips:
- Serve plain or with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
- For a slightly tangier flavor, use slightly more buttermilk (up to 1 ¼ cups).
- Avoid overbaking—the center should jiggle slightly when you remove it from the oven; it will firm up as it cools.
I can also give a quick mini tart version using muffin tins if you want individual servings. Do you want me to do that?
