Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and beat well using a whisk or mixer.
- Gradually add the sugar while continuing to beat.
- Add the melted butter, salt, flour, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth.
- Pour the filling into the pie shell, sprinkle with nutmeg.
- Bake for 50 minutes.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F and bake for an additional 10 minutes. The pie is done when a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Notes
- Have all ingredients at room temperature. So that means to take eggs out about 30 minutes before I need to use them. Baking is better when the temperatures of the ingredients are as close as possible.
- I recommend purchasing commercial buttermilk for this recipe. Your results will be more consistent than making homemade buttermilk.
- You should store this pie in the refrigerator. Custard pies should always be stored in the refrigerator.
- Warm this pie before serving. This pie is best eaten while still warm.
