Ingredients

• 113 grams Unsalted butter
• 300 grams Granulated sugar
• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 120 milliliters Buttermilk
• 25 grams All-purpose flour
• 15 grams Cornmeal
• 60 grams Shredded sweetened coconut
• 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
• 10 milliliters Lemon juice
• 1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat the eggs into the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

Step 4

Gradually add the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, and cornmeal to the mixture, stirring until smooth.

Step 5

Mix in the shredded sweetened coconut, vanilla extract, and lemon juice, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.

Step 6

Roll out your 9-inch pie crust (if homemade) or place the pre-made crust into a pie dish, ensuring it fits snugly and the edges are trimmed or crimped as desired.

Step 7

Pour the filling mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Place the pie dish on the center rack of your oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top. The center should be just slightly wobbly when gently shaken.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely at room temperature before serving. This will ensure the filling firms up properly.

Step 10

Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy your Buttermilk Coconut Chess Pie!
