Description
Silky, creamy Amish Buttermilk Pie with a golden top and tangy, sweet flavor. Easy to make and perfect for family dinners or holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- pinch of salt
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (9″) unbaked pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉. Place your oven rack just below the middle position.
- Melt the butter and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
- Gradually add sugar and beat well. Add the melted butter and mix gently. Then add the flour and salt and mix to combine. Don’t overmix.
- Stir in the buttermilk and lemon juice until smooth and fully combined. The batter will be thin, but that’s normal.
- Pour the custard mixture into your unbaked 9-inch pie crust. (You may want to set your pie plate onto a large baking sheet. Also, a 9″ pie plate gets pretty full, so if you’re using store-bought crust, you may want to use deep-dish.)
- Bake at 400°F for 10 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350℉ and continue baking for another 45 – 50 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center slightly jiggles. (Don’t overbake – the pie should have a slight wobble in the center when done.)
- Let the pie cool at room temperature and chill before cutting into it. It will continue to set as it cools and chills.
- Keep refrigerated, lightly covered, and enjoy within 3 – 4 days.
Notes
- Store pie in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
