Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (9-inch) single pie crust, recipe link above
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) buttermilk
- 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (100 g) brown sugar
- 4 tbsp (2 oz) (55 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
Instructions
- Roll out the pie crust dough and set it in a 9-inch pie tin. Crimp the edges and prick the bottom all over with a fork. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 425° F. Bake crust for 12-15 minutes, until golden. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
- Reduce oven temperature to 350° F. Set the pie tin on a baking sheet that is lined with foil or parchment paper.
- Combine all of the remaining ingredients in the jar of a blender, put on the lid, and then blend until well-combined.
- Carefully pour the liquid into the cooled crust. Cover the rim of the crust with a pie crust shield or foil so that it doesn’t get too dark. Set the baking sheet with pie on it into the oven.
- Bake for 40 minutes, turning the pan halfway through. The custard should still wobble, but not be at all liquidy. Set on a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Completely cooled pie can be covered and stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days.
