          • Grandma Willie Mae’s Buttermilk Pie ✨


            ❄️ 3 eggs, room temp
            ✨ 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
            ❄️ 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
            ✨ 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
            ❄️ 1 cup buttermilk, room temp
            ✨ 1 tsp vanilla
            ❄️ Pinch salt
            ✨ Pinch nutmeg
            ❄️ 1 9in pie crust
            Bring all ingredients to room temp so the batter comes together properly. Poke a few holes in the pie crust to prevent air bubbles. Pour into prepared pie pan, that is on top of a sheet tray. Bake at 350F for 45-50 min. I like mine cold with no garnishes, but feel free to add whipped cream and berries.
