Buttermilk Pie AKA Egg Custard Tart






Ingredients:

1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

1 ½ cups sugar

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon salt

3 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg (optional)

1 T lemon juice 



Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, and salt until well combined.

  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended.

  4. Pour Into Crust: Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.

  5. Add Nutmeg (Optional): Sprinkle a light dusting of ground nutmeg on top for extra flavor.

  6. Bake: Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquidy.
