How to Make Royer S Cafe Buttermilk Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then gradually whisk in 2 cups all-purpose flour until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups buttermilk, 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into your pre-baked pie crust. Gently fold in ½ cup chocolate chips and ½ cup chopped pecans.
  7. Bake for 110-120 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. The center should be just slightly jiggly.
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
