Buttermilk Pie

Makes 12 Servings
 
Ingredients:
2 1/4 c. sugar
1 1/2 sticks butter
4 eggs
3 Tbsp. flour
3/4 c. buttermilk
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. coconut extract
2 9" pie shells
 
 
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400.

Cream butter and sugar thoroughly. Add flour and eggs, mix well. Add vanilla, buttermilk and extract, mix well. Pour into pie shells.

Set oven to 350. Bake 1 hour, until pie doesn't shake.
Alternative Instructions or Variations: Depending on your oven/altitude/etc., you may wish to cover the edges with a pie shield (or aluminum foil) until the last few minutes to prevent them getting too dark.

Other extracts can be used in place of coconut. But it doesn't really taste like coconut anyway, and everyone seems to like it best in my experience.

Heating the oven to 400 allows it to stay at 350, even with the heat loss when you open the oven to put the pies in. :)
