Grandma Willie Mae’s Buttermilk Pie ✨

❄️ 3 eggs, room temp
✨ 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
❄️ 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
✨ 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
❄️ 1 cup buttermilk, room temp
✨ 1 tsp vanilla
❄️ Pinch salt
✨ Pinch nutmeg
❄️ 1 9in pie crust
Bring all ingredients to room temp so the batter comes together properly. Poke a few holes in the pie crust to prevent air bubbles. Pour into prepared pie pan, that is on top of a sheet tray. Bake at 350F for 45-50 min. I like mine cold with no garnishes, but feel free to add whipped cream and berries.
