Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
- 1 cup white granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 large eggs room temperature
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/3 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
- 1 inch unbaked pie shell or graham cracker pie shell
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, using an electric or stand mixer, beat butter with the sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Beat in the the eggs one at a time at medium speed. Stop to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Next, add the egg yolk, buttermilk, vanilla, cornmeal, and vinegar. Beat on medium-low speed until smooth and well combined.
- Transfer the mixture into the pie shell and bake for 10 minutes.
- Lower the heat to 300 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 40 minutes. The pie is done when golden brown and slightly jiggly in the center.
- Remove the pie from the oven and leave it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing, for best results refrigerate it after that for a few hours.
- Serve and enjoy!
