MEMA MARTHA'S BUTTERMILK PIE



Mema Martha's Buttermilk Pie image

This recipe comes from my ex husbands grandma. She taught me how to make this along with her Chicken & Dumplings. She cooked very simple food- it was always cooked with lots of love and you never left her table hungry. Use regular buttermilk- no low fat stuff ! and use REAL butter !

Time 1h

Yield 2 pies, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Butter should be room temp- easy to cream- DO NOT USE MELTED BUTTER !
  • Cream butter and sugar, Add flour and beaten eggs. Beat on low speed until it is all mixed well. Stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Pour into 2 small pie shells or 1 large shell.
  • Bake 45-50 minutes at 350 degees. The middle will be set- not wiggly when done- color should be golden brown. I think it tastes even better after it sits in fridge for a day.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk yields the best flavor and texture in this pie. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough pie crust. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Blind Bake the Pie Crust: Blind baking the pie crust helps to prevent it from becoming soggy. To blind bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line the pie crust with parchment paper. Fill the parchment paper with pie weights or dried beans and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
  • Use High-Quality Lemon Juice: The quality of the lemon juice you use will greatly affect the flavor of your pie. Use fresh lemon juice whenever possible.
  • Serve the Pie Chilled: Buttermilk pie is best served chilled. This helps to firm up the filling and pie crust.

Conclusion:

Martha's Buttermilk Pie is a delicious and classic Southern dessert. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky pie crust, this pie is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Follow the tips above to make the best buttermilk pie possible. Enjoy!
