OLD-FASHIONED LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE



Old-Fashioned Lemon Buttermilk Pie image

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup ice water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, plus 1 yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the dough: Add the flour and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter forms pea-size pieces. Add the water and continue to pulse until a dough begins to come together. Press the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a disk about 11 to 12 inches wide. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, then crimp the edges. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until well blended. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk just until incorporated. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, then pour the filling over the dough. Bake until the top is golden brown and set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. If the crust begins to get too brown, but the filling isn't ready, cover the edges loosely with foil. Let the pie completely cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.

LEMON COCONUT BUTTERMILK PIE



Lemon Coconut Buttermilk Pie image

Tangy buttermilk and lemon are offset by sweet coconut that browns as this sugar-crusted pie bakes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sugar Crust
1 coconut
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • While the sugar crust is being refrigerated, test each of the three eyes at the stem end of the coconut to see which is the softest. Then, use an ice pick or a screwdriver and a hammer to pierce two of the eyes. Strain water through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve for another use or discard.
  • Place coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes, or until coconut shell begins to crack. Set aside until cool enough to handle.
  • Wrap coconut in a clean kitchen towel; holding coconut with one hand, hit it with a hammer in the same place several times to crack the outer shell and split the coconut into several large pieces.
  • Separate coconut flesh from shell, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark outer skin. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the coconut, creating long shaved pieces about 1/4 inch wide. You will need 1 1/4 cups; chill remaining coconut in an airtight container for another use.
  • Remove crust from refrigerator. Cover with parchment, and fill with pie weights or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 400 degrees.
  • Prepare the custard: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until pale yellow and creamy. Add buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon juice, beating until well combined. Mix in lemon zest and 1 cup shredded coconut.
  • Pour mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with remaining coconut, and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees, and continue baking until pie is golden brown and custard is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Buttermilk pie dough:
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup buttermilk

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, plus more

Pinch of saffron threads
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled slightly

Steps:

  • For buttermilk pie dough:
  • Pulse flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor to combine. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and add buttermilk. Mix with a fork, adding more buttermilk by the tablespoon if needed, just until a shaggy dough comes together; knead very lightly until no dry spots remain. Pat into a disk and wrap in plastic. Chill at least 4 hours.
  • DO AHEAD: Dough can be made 2 days ahead. Keep chilled.

LEMON COCONUT BUTTERMILK PIE RECIPE - (4/5)



LEMON COCONUT BUTTERMILK PIE Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by sandrac-2

Number Of Ingredients 9

Sugar Crust .
1 coconut \
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest

Steps:

  • 1. While the sugar crust is being refrigerated, test each of the three eyes at the stem end of the coconut to see which is the softest. Then, use an ice pick or a screwdriver and a hammer to pierce two of the eyes. Strain water through a fine sieve into a bowl; reserve for another use or discard. 2. Place coconut on a rimmed baking sheet; bake for 30 minutes, or until coconut shell begins to crack. Set aside until cool enough to handle. 3. Wrap coconut in a clean kitchen towel; holding coconut with one hand, hit it with a hammer in the same place several times to crack the outer shell and split the coconut into several large pieces. 4. Separate coconut flesh from shell, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the dark outer skin. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the coconut, creating long shaved pieces about 1/4 inch wide. You will need 1 1/4 cups; chill remaining coconut in an airtight container for another use. 5. Remove crust from refrigerator. Cover with parchment, and fill with pie weights or beans. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, and let cool. Increase oven temperature to 4000• 6. Prepare the custard: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating until pale yellow and creamy. Add buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon juice, beating until well combined. Mix in lemon zest and 1 cup shredded coconut. 7. Pour mixture into pie crust. Sprinkle with remaining coconut, and bake for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, and continue baking until pie is golden brown and custard is set, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

Tips:

  • For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening, and work the dough until it just comes together.
  • To prevent the crust from shrinking, chill it for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • For a smooth and creamy filling, use fresh lemon juice and buttermilk, and make sure the eggs are at room temperature.
  • To prevent the filling from curdling, temper the eggs by slowly whisking in a small amount of the hot lemon mixture.
  • For a golden brown crust, brush the top of the pie with milk or cream before baking.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving, so the filling has time to set.

Conclusion:

Lemon Buttermilk Pie is a classic Southern dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, smooth and creamy filling, and bright lemon flavor, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try!
