How to Make Buttermilk Pie

I make this every Christmas and usually double the receipe because my brothers fuss over who gets to take the extra pie home..this makes 2 pies. Most of these things are kept on hand. You also can make your own pastry pie shells, I like deep dish ones because these pies tend to rise while cooking and shrink when cooled.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 2 deep dish pastry pie shells
• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• tsp vanilla
• tblsp lemon juice
• tblsp flour
• stick of butter
• 1/3 cup buttermilk
• hand mixer
• bowl

1. Leave the pie shells frozen until you are ready to use them.
   Preheat your oven to 350 Degrees while you gather your ingredients and tools. Dont forget your measuring cups & spoons ! I use Parkay stick butter because it seems to make the best pies. My mom swears it the same as off brands...but they seem more oily to me. ( your call)

2. Mix all ingredients in the bowl until the stick of butter is in tiny peices. I do this so one pie wont have more butter than the other.

3. Pour into pie shells and bake for one hour or until the tops are brown.
   slice and enjoy warm !

Tips & Warnings

• Double the receipe and wrap each pie in foil, place a bow on top & give to friends and neighbors for Christmas !
• I love them best warm!
• Enjoy!
• Refridgerate left overs , this is an egg based pie.
