Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your pie bakes evenly and achieves a nice golden color.
- Prepare your pie crust. If you're using a store-bought crust, follow the package instructions for pre-baking, if necessary. If you're making your own, roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp the edges as desired.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 cup of granulated sugar. Whisk them together until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Add 3 large eggs to the buttermilk mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition until fully incorporated.
- Stir in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the prepared pie crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 10-15 minutes. This will help the filling set further.
- After the pie has cooled, you can serve it warm or chilled, depending on your preference. It pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy your autumn spiced buttermilk pie with family and friends!
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all your ingredients are at room temperature before mixing. This helps create a smoother, more consistent batter.
- Crust Perfection: For an extra flaky crust, chill your pie crust for 30 minutes before filling and baking.
- Spice It Up: Feel free to adjust the spices to your liking. Want more warmth? Add a pinch of ground ginger or cloves.
- Doneness Test: The pie is done when the center is just set but still slightly jiggly. It will continue to set as it cools.
- Cooling is Crucial: Allow the pie to cool completely for the cleanest, most beautiful slices.
- Make Ahead: This pie actually tastes even better the next day, so it's perfect for holiday gatherings or make-ahead desserts.
- Storage Tip: Cover and refrigerate any leftovers for up to 3-4 days, though we doubt it will last that long!
