In the Oven: Buttermilk Pie (with a Hint of Maple Syrup)

October 29, 2012 by susan

Next up for November 4th is a treat with a hint of autumn flavor.

Buttermilk Pie (with a hint of maple syrup)
Yield: One 9-inch pie

Ingredients
1 ball Classic Pie Dough (Page 58)
4 large eggs
2 Tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup pure maple syrup

Dust a work surface with a sprinkling of flour and roll the dough ball out into a 12-inch round. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate and carefully work it into the bottom and up the sides, folding it under and crimping the edges as you go. Wrap and freeze the crust until it is firm, about 30 minutes (it will keep this way for up to 3 months).

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

In a large bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in 2 Tablespoons of the flour. Don’t be alarmed if the mixture appears curdled after the addition of the flour – it will come back together. Add both sugars and whisk until the mixture is well combined and uniform in color. Whisk in the butter, buttermilk, and maple syrup until completely combined.

Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of the remaining flour over the unbaked pie crust. Pour the batter into the shell, sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon four, and bake for about 1 hour, or until custard is set.

Set the pie on a wire rack to cool completely. Serve it at room temperature. Refrigerate and leftover pie, tightly covered, for up to 2 days.

    Baking this up tonight. Anyone else notice that the melted butter instantly curdles up when you add it to the other wet ingredients for the filling? I’m hoping it melts and blends into the custard during baking. My worries is that it will create ugly, runny pockets of melted butter. Thoughts? Suggestions?

      Hi

      I find if my other wet ingredients are cool, my butter does that. Maybe warm up the other wet ingredients.
      I hope to try out this recipe Thursday night.
      Hope it worked out for you.

      I made this a couple of days ago and it curdled, but baked up beautifully! I actually didn’t think it turned out as “ugly” as they described in the book, and everyone who ate it loved it! :)

      I don’t think it matters. I can’t remember if mine curdled or not, but go for it. It’s delicious!

      Okay Mark, I just made it. (is in the oven now) And yes, the butter did curdle. But not right away, so I thought it was fine…but then I looked away for a few seconds and curdling began. Will see how it turns out in a while.
