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.

OLD FASHIONED BUTTERMILK PIE

This is an old family recipe. I have seen this or a similar pie called Chess Pie. I find this pie creamy and refreshing. Its not super-sweet like many pies and makes a nice spring or summer dessert.

Categories     Pies

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 single pie crust
1 c sugar
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 c buttermilk
4 large eggs
1/4 c butter, melted
1/3 c lemon juice
1 Tbsp grated lemon peel
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9 inch pie plate with pastry. Trim, seal and flute edges. Set aside. In one large bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. In another large bowl, beat the buttermilk, eggs, butter, lemon juice, lemon peel and vanilla. Add to sugar mixture and mix well. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with nutmeg.
  • 2. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees and bake 40-45 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator.
  • 3. Note: I like to cover the edges of the pie crust with foil to keep them from becoming too dark.

Tips:

  • Use fresh buttermilk for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Use unsalted butter for the pie crust to prevent the crust from being too salty.
  • If you don't have a pie plate, you can use a 9-inch round baking dish.
  • To prevent the pie from cracking, preheat the oven before baking the pie.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving to allow the flavors to develop.

Old-fashioned buttermilk pie is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy filling and flaky crust, this pie is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
