- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

- Optional: Fresh nutmeg or lemon zest for garnish
Equipment Needed
- 9-inch pie dish
- Mixing bowls
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rubber spatula
Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If you’re using a store-bought pie crust, unroll it and fit it into your pie dish. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can even make your own! I often do this on weekends, enjoying the aroma of fresh dough forming. Next, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, sugar, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. I always take a moment to appreciate how these simple ingredients transform into something so delightful! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
