Paula Deen Buttermilk Pie Recipe
The Paula Deen Buttermilk Pie Recipe is a classic Southern dessert. It is sweet, creamy and very comforting. This pie has a soft custard filling and a flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Prepare the Oven and Crust
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Place the pie crust into the pie dish. Press it gently to fit well. Set it aside while preparing the filling.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
- Take a mixing bowl. Add melted butter and sugar. Mix well until smooth. Add eggs one by one. Whisk until the mixture becomes creamy and light.
Add Buttermilk and Flavor
- Pour in the buttermilk slowly. Add vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix gently until everything blends well. This gives the pie its rich and tangy flavor.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Add flour, cornmeal and salt into the mixture. Stir slowly until smooth. Make sure there are no lumps. The batter should be thin and silky.
Fill the Pie Crust
- Pour the prepared filling into the pie crust. Spread it evenly using a spatula. Do not overfill. Leave a little space at the top.
Bake the Pie
- Place the pie in the oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. The top should turn golden. The center should be slightly soft but set.
Cool Before Serving
- Remove the pie from the oven. Let it cool completely. This helps the filling set properly. Slice gently and serve fresh.
Notes
- Use fresh buttermilk for best flavor
- Do not overmix the batter
- Let the pie cool fully before slicing
- Use a ready-made crust to save time
- Bake until the center is just set
