How to Make Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie Ala Nita

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (or ¾ cup granulated and ¾ cup packed brown sugar for a richer flavor) until light and fluffy.
  3. Gradually blend in 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into your unbaked or partially baked 9-inch pie crust.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown around the edges. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. The pie will puff during baking but will settle as it cools.
