Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 30 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 7 milliliters vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 piece 9-inch pie crust (unbaked)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat, then set it aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and melted butter, whisking until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is creamy.
Sift in the all-purpose flour and add a pinch of salt. Stir until no lumps remain.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk and vanilla extract, stirring continuously until the filling is smooth.
Sprinkle in the ground nutmeg and stir it evenly into the mixture.
Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish and carefully pour the filling into the crust.
Gently transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 50 minutes, or until the filling is set but still slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. The filling will fully set as it cools.
Once cooled, refrigerate the pie for at least 2 hours before serving to enhance the flavor and texture.
Slice into wedges and serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie Ala Nita!
