Amish Buttermilk Pie

This is a quick and easy pie recipe. It is a custard-like pie.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 tea bags – Earl Grey
  • 1 frozen regular pie crust  (The Amish ladies, of course, would make a fresh pie crust.)
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • Preheat oven to 425ºF.
  • Warm the buttermilk in a small pan over medium-high heat just until it begins to steam.
  • Do not boil the buttermilk. 
  • Add tea bags and let steep for one hour. Press tea bags to release all the tea and discard.
  • Whisk together infused buttermilk, lemon zest, sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla, and butter. 
  • Pour into pie crust.
  • Bake for 10 minutes. 
  • Reduce oven heat to 350ºF and continue baking for an additional 30 minutes.
