CHEF JOHN'S BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Roll out pie dough large enough to fit pie dish with just a bit of overhang. Transfer dough to pie dish and gently fit into dish. Trim excess dough hanging over the edge. Fold about 1/2 inch of the edge of the dough to the inside edge of the pie crust to reinforce it. Crimp the edge. Prick the bottom and sides of the crust with a fork about 10 times. Place a sheet of parchment paper gently into the crust and fill with pie weights or dried beans so pie crust doesn't bubble up with you bake it.
• Bake in preheated oven 15 minutes. Remove dish from oven; lift weights from pan with edges of parchment paper. Allow crust to cool completely.
• Place butter in mixing bowl; add sugar. Smear together until completely combined using a spatula, 4 or 5 minutes. Add flour and salt. Mix together until combined. Stir in 3 eggs; mix until slightly blended. Then using a whisk, whisk together until mixture is fairly smooth and creamy.
• Pour in vanilla extract. Add nutmeg, zest of lemon, lemon juice, and buttermilk. Whisk until thoroughly mixed, 2 or 3 minutes. Pour into pie shell.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden brown and just set, 45 to 55 minutes. Pie should have a slight wiggle, but not a soupy "jiggle." Cool to room temperature. Refrigerate until chilled, 1 to 2 hours.

OLD-FASHIONED BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Beat the butter and sugar together in a large bowl until smooth.
• Mix in the flour, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla.
• Pour the filling into the pie shell then sprinkle the top with nutmeg.
• Bake for 1 hour, or until golden brown and firm (insert a toothpick into the middle, it should come out clean).
• Let cool completely before slicing.
• Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries, and enjoy!

BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Let the buttermilk and eggs come to room temperature 1 hour before making the filling.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Ease the dough into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and crimp as desired. Pierce all over with a fork. Line the dough with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until the edges are golden, about 20 minutes. Remove the parchment and weights and continue baking until lightly golden all over, about 10 more minutes. Let cool completely on a rack.
• Make the filling: Beat the butter and sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or use a hand mixer) on medium-high speed until combined, about 1 minute. Add the egg yolks and beat until pale and thick, about 1 minute. Reduce the mixer speed to medium low; add the flour, lemon juice, lemon zest, nutmeg and salt and beat until just incorporated. Increase the speed to medium high and slowly pour in the buttermilk. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and continue beating until combined. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Clean the mixer and whisk attachment. Add the egg whites and beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4 minutes. Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture in three additions until no white streaks remain. Pour the filling into the prepared crust. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake until golden and set around the edges (the center will still jiggle), 45 to 50 minutes, rotating the pie halfway through. Let cool on a rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar before serving.

Slice the pie into individual servings. Garnish with the whipped cream and mint.

• In a mixer with a whisk attachment, cream the butter well then add the sugar and continue to cream until light and fluffy. Add the yolks and blend in; then mix in the flour. With the mixer on add the buttermilk slowly then the lemon juice and rind.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold 1/3 of them into the buttermilk batter, then a second and third addition folding after each one.
• Pour the filling into the blind baked crust and sprinkle the top with nutmeg. Bake for 40 minutes until the top is golden brown and the filling is firm looking. Cool and serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Beat the butter and sugar together until light.
• Add the eggs and beat; then beat in vanilla.
• Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the batter alternatively with the buttermilk; beat until smooth.
• Pour into a deep dish pie shell and bake at 400F for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350F and bake for 50-60 additional minutes.
• Pie should turn a nice golden brown and a knife inserted should come out clean.
• I think it is absolutely best when it is just still warm. (Not too hot, or it will be like napalm.).

LYNN'S BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix all ingredients well and pour into two deep dish single pie crusts.
• Bake until center is golden brown and firmly set (usually about one hour and 20 minutes).

OLD-FASHIONED LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• For the dough: Add the flour and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter forms pea-size pieces. Add the water and continue to pulse until a dough begins to come together. Press the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a disk about 11 to 12 inches wide. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, then crimp the edges. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
• For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until well blended. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk just until incorporated. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, then pour the filling over the dough. Bake until the top is golden brown and set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. If the crust begins to get too brown, but the filling isn't ready, cover the edges loosely with foil. Let the pie completely cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.

LINDA'S EASY BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• Put all the dry ingredients into a food processor and pulse five or six times.
• Put frozen butter and crisco into the processor and pulse 5 times or until you get a small pea sized texture. Don't over process. (Up to this point you can freeze the mix in a baggie until you are ready to make your biscuits, up to a month.).
• Continuing, add the buttermilk all at once and pulse three or four times, only until the dough is wet. Do not process until it is all mixed or you will get hockey pucks instead of biscuits.
• On a floured surface, pat the dough out into a 9x9 square and cut the square with a very sharp knife into 9 square biscuits. This eliminates the need for rolling the scraps.
• Put the biscuits onto a parchment lined baking pan so they are touching. Dust the tops with flour.
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees and bake for about 13 to 15 minutes.
• Be careful when you open the oven door - they may float away.
• NOTE: You can use any fat you like including lard, all shortening or butter but I find this combination works best for me.
