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.

Tips:

  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Use a flaky pie crust for the best results. You can either make your own or use a store-bought one.
  • Be sure to blind bake the pie crust before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
  • Don't overcook the pie. The filling should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to firm up.
  • Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or fresh berries.
