All right, today’s recipe from “A World Of Baking” is a buttermilk pie. For my husband who is cringing right now at the thought of it, don’t worry, it doesn’t taste like buttermilk at all. It’s lovely little pie, simple and sweet. I would definatley make this again, but I would cut the sugar down by a 1/4 of a cup as it was a bit too sweet for me. It would be great to bring to a BBQ to have as dessert.
GOLDEN BUTTERMILK CUSTARD PIE
10 Inch pie shell, unbaked
1 C granulated sugar (or 3/4 if you choose)
1/4 tsp salt
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, separated
2 C buttermilk
1/2 C melted unsalted butter
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 tsp grated lemon zest
Combine sugar, salt, and flour to blend. Beat the egg yolks slightly and add the sugar mixture with the buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla, and lemon zest. Blend thoroughly. In a separate, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff and fold into the custard mixture. Pour into the prepared pie shell and bake at 425F for 5 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 325 F and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center of the pie comes out clean.
Well it sure does look good! I’ve never tried it, but I can imagine it would be delish.
Your husband’s parents and siblings all loved buttermilk. Where did he go wrong? His mother once accidentally poured buttermilk on his cereal and has never been forgiven for this transgression. The pie looks delicious and with the reduced sugar perhaps it would be OK for me to eat????
