- 1 large bowl
- 1 medium bowl
- 1 spatula or spoon
- 1 measuring cup
- 1 set of measuring spoons
Ingredients List
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 4 Tbsp butter melted
- 3 Tbsp yellow cornmeal
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 5 eggs large
Instructions
Prebake The Crust
- Instructions for prebaking the crust should be on the package. If not, bake at 400℉ for 10 minutes. Allow crust to cool to room temperature before filling the pie.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350℉.
Prepare The Filling
- In large bowl whisk together the sugars, cornmeal, and nutmeg.
- In medium bowl whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
- Pour the liquid mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
- Pour or spoon the filling into the cooled pie crust.
Bake
- Bake on medium rack at 350℉ for 40-45 minutes or until the center of the pie is fully set.
- Keep an eye on the crust. Once it is dark enough you can prevent further browning by using a pie crust shield or by wrapping strips of aluminum foil over the crust.
- Pie is done when the center is not jiggly.
Cool
- Allow to sit on wire cooking rack for 2 hours or until cool.
