Ingredients for Berry Buttermilk Pie
How to Make Berry Buttermilk Pie
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: If using store-bought, roll it out and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. If making your own, follow your favorite recipe and bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, flour, and salt until smooth.
- Gradually whisk in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set (a slight jiggle is okay).
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry sauce: Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Once the pie is completely cool, top with the strawberry sauce and serve chilled.
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!
