Buttermilk Pie Recipe

This is my mother-in-law’s buttermilk pie recipe. My husband Gary, is her baby boy and this is his favorite pie recipe. I loved my mother-in-law, Isabel Morton…and she loved me. She was small in stature but mighty in spirit. Memama is what my boys called her. She was a good cook and shared this recipe with me many years ago. Memama passed away a couple of weeks before Christmas in 2015 at the age of 92. We’ve missed her so much the past 2 years, but we know she’s in heaven and we will see her again one day.

Buttermilk Pie
1 deep dish refrigerated pie crust (or make a homemade pie crust – always better!)
1 1/2 cups of sugar
3 Tablespoons of White Lily all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
3 eggs, well-beaten
1 cup of buttermilk
1 stick of melted butter (cooled down some)
1 teaspoon of vanilla flavoring

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
   You don’t have to, but I prefer to prebake my pie shell for 5-7 minutes.
2. In a mixing bowl, blend the sugar, flour, and salt together with a whisk or a large fork.
3. Add the beaten eggs and buttermilk to the sugar/flour and mix well.
   (You can use a hand mixer if you want to, but I just use a good strong whisk and it works well for me.)
4. Pour the melted butter and vanilla over the mixture and mix well again.
5. Pour your buttermilk pie into your pie crust and bake 50-55 minutes or until set.

I hope you will make a buttermilk pie for your family soon! It will become a family favorite in all it’s old-fashioned goodness!
