Buttermilk Pie with Pecans

Buttermilk Pie is a creamy version of the old-fashioned pie but with some pecans for crunch and flavor. A great pie for Thanksgiving.

BUTTERMILK PIE

If you’ve ever had Buttermilk Pie it tastes a little like sugar cream pie. The tang of the buttermilk with the saltiness of the pecans and the sweetness of the filling work in harmony with each other.

The only downside to this pie is that the top is so flaky and it’s hard to get a clean slice. You can eat this room temperature or warm!

INGREDIENTS

• PIE CRUST – You can use store bought or homemade pie crust here.
• BUTTERMILK – Do not use low-fat buttermilk. Use full fat buttermilk.
• EGGS – It helps if the eggs are room temperature. It makes it light and fluffy.
  SUGAR
• PECANS
• VANILLA EXTRACT

4. Sprinkle pecans into crust and pour filling on top. Bake until center is set, 50-60 minutes. Cover top loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if crust is browning too much.

5. Cool completely on a wire rack. Great served at warm temperature or warm with whipped cream. Refrigerate leftovers.
