Comments: A favorite in the American South, this pie has a filling of buttermilk, eggs, flour and sugar, plus flavorings like vanilla and nutmeg. It's similar to but tangier than CHESS PIE. |
Ingredients: ![]() 3 large eggs, separated 2 1/2 cups buttermilk 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 1 cup granulated sugar 1/4 cup cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 9-inch pie shell Grated nutmeg, (optional) |
Instructions: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F/220 degrees C. Beat egg yolks slightly with a wire whisk; add buttermilk and vanilla and mix together. Combine sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a mixing bowl. Gradually stir in buttermilk mixture; blend thoroughly and pour into pie shell. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, then at 350 degrees F/180 degrees C for 30-40 minutes until knife inserted 1 inch from center comes out clean and center is partially set. Chill well. Serve chilled with a sprinkle of grated nutmeg on each slice, if desired. Serve topped with whipped cream or with a meringue made of 3 egg whites plus 1/4 cup sugar. Bake meringue in a moderate oven (350 degrees F/180 degrees C) for 12-15 minutes until delicately browned. Makes 6 servings. VARIATIONS: CHOCOLATE BUTTERMILK PIE Add 4 oz. melted unsweetened chocolate and increase the sugar by 1/4 cup. LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE Add 1 teaspoon lemon peel to the dry ingredients and 3 tablespoons lemon juice to the buttermilk-egg mixture, omitting vanilla. |

Sorry for the incorrect information in the recipe's description. I have removed where it said that the filling contained butter. It does not. Sincerely, Diana, Diana's Desserts

I thought this pie was just scrumptious. The buttermilk is perfect in it. Gives it a nice buttery flavor.
