Buttermilk Pecan Pie


1/2 c. butter
1 1/4 c. sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
2 tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. buttermilk
1 c. chopped pecans
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shell

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, adding 1/2 cup sugar at a time. Blend in vanilla. Stir in eggs, one at a time.

Combine flour and salt; add small amount of butter to mixture at a time. Stir in buttermilk. Sprinkle 1/2 of the chopped pecans in bottom of pie crust, then pour the custard mixture over the chopped pecans. Bake for 1 hour. Add remaining pecans on top and bake 20-30 minutes This is best served at room temperature. I serve this with a cherry puree that I make by just pureeing a can of cherry pie filling in a blender.

  2. This weekend, we discussed the menu for our Thanksgiving table. Each year, we tend to pick up a pre-made dessert. Well, until last year, when many of our foodie friends shared some excellent dessert recipes. They turned out great for us! Well, this year, I mentioned that I would like two desserts, and would have to find some recipes. The first one is a custard pie, which I will be collecting recipes on our fb page. (So if you have one, feel free to stop by and post it!) The second is a pecan pie. This one looks easy and sounds absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing!
