Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter room temperature, softened
  • cups sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 deep dish pie crust unbaked

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
  • In the large bowl of your stand mixer, add butter and sugar and whisk until combined.
  • Add flour, salt, and eggs; mix well.
  • Add buttermilk, vanilla, and nutmeg; mix well.
  • Pour into unbaked pie crust and bake for 45-55 minutes, until lightly browned on top and mostly set. The middle may be slightly jiggly with a browned top. Insert a knife in the center, and it's done if it comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for 2 hours, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
