Here’s a classic Nannie’s Buttermilk Pie recipe — simple, sweet, and rich with old-fashioned Southern charm:
Nannie’s Buttermilk Pie
🥧 Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for a slight tang)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar and flour.
- Add eggs and beat until smooth.
- Stir in buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, lemon juice (if using), and salt. Mix until fully combined.
- Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden and the center is set (it may jiggle just slightly).
- Allow to cool completely before slicing. Best served at room temperature or chilled.
🍴 Tips:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on top before baking.
- This pie can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge.
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or fresh berries if you like.
