Ingredients for Aunt Mable S Buttermilk Pie

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Margarine
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • Unbaked Pie Shell

How to Make Aunt Mable S Buttermilk Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until well combined.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Beat in 3 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1 cup buttermilk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  7. 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.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
