This simple custard pie was an absoulte hit at our Thanksgiving dinner this year. Make it and you will see why. For a real treat, use real vanilla bean or powder. The constistency is seriously almost a creme brulée. I also like to slip in a small dab of raspberry extract.
Ingredients Yield: 1 9-inch pie
2 Cups Sugar 1 Stick Butter, room temperature
4 Tbsp Flour
3 Eggs, slightly beaten
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons Vanilla
1 Unbaked 9-inch Pie Shell
In large bowl cream together sugar, butter, and flour. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake for 1 hour at 325○, or until knife inserted in center comes out clean (I put a sheet pan down on the oven rack because custards tend to explode. I also kept my pie in for 1 1/2 hours and a knife still did not come out completely clean. So long as the filling is no longer wriggly and slightly crumbly looking, you are good to go.)
Cool and serve.

MMmmm Sounds great! Where is the best place to get buttermilk?
Your grocer's dairy department has got it. In our area, I found it at Harmon's for $1.19, and in this economy that is great! In other recipes I have suggested making your own buttermilk by adding a small amount of lemon juice or vinegar to the milk and microwaving. However, I would NOT suggest doing that when making a Buttermilk Pie. You really need the real stuff to get the right taste and texture.
EVERYONE is talking about this pie and I'm feeling pretty left out that I didn't get to come to Thanksgiving to try it! My family is still talking about how amazing it was... so I'm going to give it a go! Maybe I'll do it Sunday for Joey's birthday dinner! Can you believe he comes home TOMORROW!!!!!!! AH! My whole family will be together for Christmas!
