Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter
- 300 grams Granulated sugar
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 120 milliliters Buttermilk
- 25 grams All-purpose flour
- 15 grams Cornmeal
- 60 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 10 milliliters Lemon juice
- 1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Beat the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Gradually add the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, and cornmeal to the mixture, stirring until smooth.
Mix in the shredded sweetened coconut, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Roll out your 9-inch pie crust (if homemade) or place the pre-made crust into a pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly and the edges are trimmed or crimped as desired.
Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Place the pie dish on the center rack of your oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top. The center should be just slightly wobbly when gently shaken.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before serving. This will ensure the filling firms up properly.
Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy your Buttermilk Coconut Chess Pie!
