Before you start assembling the pie, make sure your oven is preheated to the right temperature. This will ensure that your pie bakes evenly and to perfection.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add in the cold butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add in the ice-cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a 9-inch pie dish and trim off any excess dough around the edges. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the buttermilk, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
Pour the filling into the prepared crust and smooth out the top. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
With this easy recipe, you can bring a taste of the South to your own kitchen. So, gather your ingredients and get ready to bake a delicious southern buttermilk pie that will have everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy!
