Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust Pie crust (pre-made or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Raisins (optional but recommended)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place your pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, trim any excess dough, and crimp the edges if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sugar, and flour until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, whisking thoroughly after each addition.
Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt until the filling is smooth and creamy.
If using raisins, scatter them evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
Carefully pour the buttermilk filling over the raisins, ensuring they stay evenly distributed.
Place the pie on the center rack of your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the middle.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack to room temperature before serving. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
Slice and serve plain or with a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy!
