My mom used to make these pies all the time for my daddy. They were his favorite pies so I decided that I would try to make him one for his birthday. This is the recipe that my mom used. I have no idea where she got it so....
1 1/2 c. sugar
3 T. flour (self-rising)
3 eggs, beaten
1/2 c. butter
1 c. buttermilk
2 t. vanilla
deep dish pie shell, poke holes in the bottom of crust
Mix sugar & flour, stir in eggs, add butter & milk, add vanilla.
Bake at 425 F. for 10 minutes
then bake at 350 F. for 35 minutes
OR until golden brown on the top
*Refrigerate overnight for best results
So, I made this pie, actually I made 3 of them. Mom says to make each batch seperately, do not mix up more than one at the same time, for some reason they don't turn out right. Anyhow, I used stick butter and for some reason all the butter pooled on top of the pies, that is why it looks funky with a crater on it. Mom says that she used the butter in the bowl, she thinks it has more water in it or something so use the bowl butter. And I believe she said that she used a mixer, I hand mixed it so all the butter was chunky and at the top.
It is very very sweet! It doesn't taste like buttermilk, it was actually pretty good!
So my mom says that I should have used whipped butter and not stick butter and I didn't cook it long enough. It's supposed to be a golden brown all over.
