Magnolia Pie
A version of the classic buttermilk pie mad with powdered buttermilk
Servings 8
Cost 5
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust not deep dish
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (56 grams)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (200 grams)
- ⅛ teaspoon salt omit if using salted butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons powdered buttermilk (such as Saco)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ cup water
- ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon vanilla bean paste or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Garnish: Lightly sweetened whipped cream & fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Have your pie shell ready to go. By that I mean, unbaked and perhaps sitting on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Whisk the sugar and butter together until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, one by one, until mixture is smooth. If you are using salt, add that too.
- Mix the buttermilk powder and flour in a small bowl, then add to the egg mixture and stir until smooth. Stir in nutmeg, vanilla bean paste and water until smooth.
- Bake for 45 minutes or until almost set. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool 1 hour.
- Chill thoroughly before serving (or not -- I like things chilled, but some prefer room temperature).
