Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust (tested with Pillsbury)
  • 3 eggs (lightly beaten)
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 2 Tbsp all purpose flour (tested with White Lily)
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (melted but cooled)
  • 1 cup buttermilk (tested with Mayfield)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 vanilla beans (sliced in half lengthwise and scraped)
  • pinch salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Unroll pie crust and place in a greased pie plate.
  • In a stand mixer or in a large bowl using an electric hand mixer, blend all ingredients together on high speed for 5 minutes, or until combined and no strings of egg remain unmixed in mixture.
  • Pour mixture into pie pan over pie crust. Place pie pan in oven and bake 40-50 minutes, or until center is set and top is golden. Remove and cool completely on the countertop.
  • Place pie in refrigerator until chilled, at least 2 hours. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

Only add in the teeny seeds from vanilla beans, and discard the pods. I prefer to use the backside of the knife and not the blade for scraping.
Crimp the edges if you want to, for the sake of your naggy mother-in-law. Leave it as is if you want. It's no less delicious, but maybe more of an easy target from your mother-in-law. You do you, boo.
