How to Make Aunt Mable's Buttermilk Pie

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours.
