Ingredients

• 1 9-inch crust Unbaked pie crust
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.33 cup Brown sugar
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 0.5 cup Buttermilk
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Pecans, chopped
• 0.5 cup Whole pecans, for topping (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges, if desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, whisking well after each addition.

Step 5

Stir in the buttermilk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Step 6

Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the filling.

Step 7

Pour the pie filling into the prepared pie crust. If desired, arrange whole pecans on top for decoration.

Step 8

Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The center should have a slight jiggle but not be liquidy.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. This will allow the filling to fully set.

Step 10

Serve your buttermilk pecan pie at room temperature or chilled. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
