Recipe Introduction

Note: If using a store bought 9" pie crust, there will be filling left over. Pour it into a buttered dish and bake it along with the pie.

List of Ingredients

Buttermilk Pie


3 eggs, separated
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups buttermilk

1 10" unbaked pie shell



Recipe


Place the egg whites in a large mixing bowl. Beat them until stiff but not dry.

Place the egg yolks, sugar, butter, flour, salt, nutmeg, and lemon juice in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Process until smooth, scraping the sides at least once. Turn the machine on and gradually pour the buttermilk in; scrape the sides and process until smooth. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the egg whites and fold until the mixtures are incorporated. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie shell.

Bake in a preheated 300° oven for 60 minutes or until the pie is set. Serve warm or cold.

Note: it is a good idea to put a pan under the pie in the oven since the filling will puff and may overflow into the oven.
