How to Make Easy Buttermilk Pie

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Whisk in 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder and ½ teaspoon salt until just combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into your favorite 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
Bake for 50-70 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
