Best Brown Sugar Buttermilk Pie Recipes

BROWN-SUGAR BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse flour, sugar, and salt until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edges. Prick dough all over with a fork. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is light golden, about 15 minutes; remove parchment and weights.
• Make the filling: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in buttermilk, nutmeg, and cinnamon until combined. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown and most of the foam has subsided, 8 to 10 minutes. Immediately whisk into buttermilk mixture. Pour filling into pie shell and bake until set but still slightly wobbly in center, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack, 2 hours, before serving. (Refrigerate, wrapped in plastic, up to 3 days.)

BROWN SUGAR-BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Thaw pie crust 10 minutes. Bake crust until pale golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
• Blend brown sugar and flour in processor. Add eggs, yolk and vanilla and process until blended. Add buttermilk and melted butter and process just to blend. Pour mixture into cooled crust.

BROWN SUGAR, OR NOT, BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• INGREDIENTS 1 prepared 8-inch graham-cracker crust 1 large egg white, beaten until frothy 2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 3 large eggs 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk, well shaken 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 pint (1 cup) raspberries 2 tablespoons granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place crust (in its pan) on a baking sheet. Brush crust lightly with some egg white; discard remainder. Bake until crisp and slightly darkened, 6 to 8 minutes. Set aside to cool. Make the Filling: In a food processor, process sugar and flour until well combined. Add eggs; process until smooth. Add buttermilk, butter, and salt; process just until blended. Pour into crust. Bake until filling is almost set but center still jiggles slightly when pan is gently shaken, 35 to 40 minutes. Make the Raspberry Sauce: Combine raspberries, sugar, and lemon zest in a bowl. Lightly mash about half the raspberries with a fork. Let sit at least 10 minutes to allow juices to release. Transfer pie to a rack; cool completely. Cover, and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 2 days. To serve, slice pie and drizzle slices with Raspberry Sauce.
