How to Make Best Buttermilk Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently stir in the buttermilk until the batter is smooth.
  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pie crusts.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pie filling is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  8. Let the pies cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
