Lila ScheerThis wonderful buttermilk pie recipe was shared with me by my husband's aunt, Lila Scheer of Vancouver, WA. Lila says, "I like to try old recipes. When I found this one, I wondered how it would turn out. We found it to be delicious, as did our visiting daughter and son-in-law. The texture is unusual. Though vanilla is the only flavoring in the pie, I tasted a hint of coconut. Surprise your family with this good old fashioned pie."

This is a delicious, old-fashioned pie. Don't be put off by the buttermilk - this is a sweet and flavorful pie. Lila made five pies for a family reunion, and this pie was definitely my favorite!

Buttermilk Pie Recipe

Recipe Type: Pie, Pie Pastry, Eggs

Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 40 min


Ingredients:

Pastry for 9-inch one crust pie
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup buttermilk, divided
3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/4 cup melted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans


Preparation:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Prepare pie pastry.

In a large bowl, combine sugar, flour, and 1/2 cup buttermilk. Add beaten eggs and the remaining 1/2 buttermilk; mix well with a whisk. Mix in the melted butter and vanilla extract.

Pour into prepared pie crust. Sprinkle pecans over the top.

Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F. and bake approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until the internal temperature registers at least 160 degrees F. on your cooking thermometer and the top is lightly brown and the center is set.

This is the type of cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking. I get many readers asking what cooking thermometer that I prefer and use in my cooking and baking. I, personally, use the Thermapen Thermometer shown in the photo on the right. Originally designed for professional users, the Super-Fast Thermapen Thermometer is used by chefs all over the world.

Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack. Refrigerate after cooling.
