Description
A traditional, creamy, and tangy custard pie that is a staple of Southern comfort food.
Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup full-fat buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 8-inch unbaked pie shell
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Step 3: Add the all-purpose flour and salt to the butter mixture, whisking until no lumps remain.
Step 4: Whisk in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Step 5: Slowly pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, whisking constantly until the batter is smooth and well-combined.
Step 6: Pour the custard filling into the unbaked pie shell.
Step 7: Bake for 45-50 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggling.
Step 8: Allow the pie to cool completely on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent the custard from separating during the baking process.
