Buttermilk Pie

1. 1

   First, if you don't happen to be working with a frozen pie shell, which usually I'm not, make your pie shell and put it in fridge to chill. Cook's illusrated recipe is good and works well here https://food52.com/recipes/24966-cook-s-illustrated-foolproof-pie-crust. If it has chilled overnight, so much the better.

2. 2

   Preheat oven to 400 and make the filling. Stir together sugar, salt and flour. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat together till combined. Add melted butter. Add vanilla and any optional ingredients you see fit.

3. 3

   Pour in pie shell and bake for 10 minutes at 400

4. 4

   Turn down to 350 and bake another 50-60 minutes or until pie crust is brown and filling is slightly puffed and no longer jiggly in center. (If crust looks too brown you can tent with foil in last 30 minutes.)

5. 5

   Cool 45 minutes to an hour before attempting to eat the pie. Good slightly warm, room temperature, or chilled.
