BUTTERMILK PIE



Buttermilk Pie image

This recipe was originally noted by my wife on a cooking show on TV. It was touted as an Amish recipe. All we had for a long time was the list of ingredients on the back of an old envelope. We lost it for a good while and after I found it, I originally posted it so I would never lose it again. Thank you all for all your interest ... this is my absolute favorite pie. During the "lost" phase I must have gained 20 pounds trying numerous different buttermilk pie recipes ... I was so glad when I found it again as only a few even came close in taste and texture. I've noted a lot of people mentioning reducing the sugar, which is fine, but bear in mind that the sugar quantity was a major difference between this and other recipes I tested when it was lost. Hey, it is a PIE, it is SUPPOSED to be sweet. Enjoy

  • Pie should turn a nice golden brown and a knife inserted should come out clean.
  • I think it is absolutely best when it is just still warm. (Not too hot, or it will be like napalm.).

CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK PIE



Chef John's Buttermilk Pie image

Not only is this buttermilk pie easy to make and beautiful to look at, it's also bursting with the kind of bright, tangy flavor that no other custard-style pie can touch. This is sort of like a vanilla custard, meets lemon meringue pie, meets very light cheesecake. Except better.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 prepared dough for 1 (9-inch) single crust pie
½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1 ½ cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Zest from 1 lemon
Juice from 1 lemon
1 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Roll out pie dough large enough to fit pie dish with just a bit of overhang. Transfer dough to pie dish and gently fit into dish. Trim excess dough hanging over the edge. Fold about 1/2 inch of the edge of the dough to the inside edge of the pie crust to reinforce it. Crimp the edge. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork about 10 times. Place a sheet of parchment paper gently into the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans so pie crust doesn't bubble up with you bake it.
  • Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Remove dish from oven; lift weights from pan with edges of parchment paper. Allow crust to cool completely.
  • Place butter in mixing bowl; add sugar. Smear together until completely combined using a spatula, 4 or 5 minutes. Add flour and salt. Mix together until combined. Stir in 3 eggs; mix until slightly blended. Then using a whisk, whisk together until mixture is fairly smooth and creamy.
  • Pour in vanilla extract. Add nutmeg, zest of lemon, lemon juice, and buttermilk. Whisk until thoroughly mixed, 2 or 3 minutes. Pour into pie shell.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and just set, 45 to 55 minutes. Pie should have a slight wiggle, but not a soupy "jiggle." Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours.

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 2h35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, very cold, cut into 1-inch dice
¼ cup ice-cold buttermilk
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil
2 eggs, separated, room temperature
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1 teaspoon Powdered sugar for dusting

Steps:

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Use hands to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs and no pieces are larger than a pea. Stir in the cold buttermilk until mixture starts to clump together. Use hands to form the dough into a tight ball, pat it into a disk about 1 1/2-inch thick and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for a least an hour and up to a day.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll pie crust into large circle. Press dough into a pie pan. Line the crust with a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and fill the foil with pie weights or dried rice/beans. Make sure to get the weights into the corners of the pie and press into the bottom and sides. Chill the crust for 15 minutes and then bake for 15 minutes. Remove piecrust from the oven and remove the weights and foil. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F and let the crust cool while you make the filling.
  • Beat egg whites in a stand mixer with whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Set aside. Using the whisk attachment, cream butter and sugar. Add yolks to butter-sugar mixture and combine well. Add the flour, lemon juice, nutmeg and salt to the mixture. Slowly add in buttermilk and mix for 1 minute. Buttermilk will curdle slightly but will smooth out upon baking.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the buttermilk mixture. Pour mixture into the crust. Smooth with spatula and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and set in the middle. Cool thoroughly on a rack before serving.

BUTTERMILK PIE WITH CRUNCHY TOP FROM CHOWHOUND



Buttermilk Pie with Crunchy Top from chowhound image

Categories     Dessert     Pie     Banana     Bake

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cup Sugar
1 batches Pie Crust
1 stick Butter, melted (saled or unsaled)
1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
2 ear Eggs, Large
3 slightly heaping tablespoons All Purpose Flour
1 cup Whole Buttermilk
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F
  • 2. Beat the eggs until well mixed, about a minute.
  • 3. Add the sugar and flour and beat at medium speed until well combined.
  • 4. Add butter and buttermilk to sugar mixture and mix on high for 2 minutes.
  • 5. Add lemon juice and vanilla and beat until mixed.
  • 6. Pour into pie crust.
  • Bake until the top is golden brown, 55 mins to 1 hour.
  • Remove pie from oven. It'll be a bit more jiggly than most pies, but let sit at room temp for about an hour and it will firm up. (Don't put in the refrigerator before letting it sit the hour or it won't firm up.)

Tips:

  • Use Fresh Buttermilk: Fresh buttermilk will give your pie a tangier flavor and a lighter texture. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter will make your pie tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the Pie in a Water Bath: Baking the pie in a water bath will help to prevent the crust from overcooking and cracking.
  • Let the Pie Cool Completely Before Serving: This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

Buttermilk pie is a classic Southern dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy, tangy filling and crunchy, buttery crust, it's the perfect pie for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and nostalgic dessert, give buttermilk pie a try. You won't be disappointed!
