Buttermilk Pie
1 1/2 cups White Sugar
1 cup Buttermilk
1/2 cup Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/3 cup Butter, melted, but not *too* hot, we don't want to cook the eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (I like Mexican vanilla)
3 Eggs
Liberal sprinkle of Cinnamon
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch pie plate (Pyrex is good).
2. Sift together flour & baking powder until fluffy looking & well-mixed. (You can skip this step if you use something like 'bisquick' rather than flour & baking powder.)
3. Beat together white sugar, buttermilk, flour & baking powder, melted butter, vanilla, and eggs until smooth. Pour filling into pie plate (We like Pyrex!).
4. Bake until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
Cool 5 minutes before serving. Can be served with fresh fruit, whipped cream, etc. on top. I probably wouldn't recommend ice cream, but it's up to you.
Makes 1 - 9 inch pie. Serves 6-10 (Or one, if you are my relative-person) This can be served in smaller slices, a la cheesecake. Like cheesecake, it is fairly rich, but has a nice custardy mouthfeel like a Pumpkin pie, but none of the icky pumpkin-tude.
