Adapted from Karen's Buttermilk Pie My older sister Karen always made the Buttermilk Pie for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner, and though I'm not sure where she got her recipe, I am sure that it was the best Buttermilk Pie that anyone in our family ever made. Yes, even better than mine. My beloved sister passed away in 1999 a few days after Christmas. The following year I decided to make her Buttermilk Pie in honor of her. I contacted family members and began a search for her recipe. To my dismay no one had it. My mother said my sister had written down the recipe for her, however, after searching she could not find it either. Each year I make a buttermilk pie from recipes I have found in books and online and none of them tasted the same. I am happy to say that while looking through old recipes of my mother's, after 13 years, I found my sister's handwritten recipe in time to bake it for Thanksgiving and my family got to enjoy a piece of Karen's Buttermilk Pie as we reminisced about her and holidays past.

Steps:

• Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor to combine. Pulse in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, 8 to 10 seconds. Pulse in egg yolks.
• While pulsing, add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Pulse until mixture holds together as a soft but not crumbly or sticky dough. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in plastic; refrigerate until firm and evenly moist, about 30 minutes.
• Lightly flour clean work surface and a rolling pin. Place dough in center of floured surface. Roll out dough, starting in center and rolling up to, but not over the edge. Give dough a quarter turn and continue rolling, repeating quarter turns until you have a disk about 1/8 inch thick.
• Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie dish. Gently tuck dough into pie dish, being careful not to stretch or pull dough. Let dough settle into bottom of pie dish. Take a small piece of dough and shape it into a ball. Use ball as a tool to press around bottom edges of pie dish, snugly shaping dough to pie dish without tearing it. Crimp or flute edges as desired. Prick bottom of dough all over with the tines of a fork to help prevent shrinkage during baking. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Remove beans and parchment; continue baking until crust is light golden-brown, 5 minutes more. Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees.

Add sugar, cocoa, cornmeal, and salt; whisk well to combine. Add butter-chocolate mixture, buttermilk, and vanilla; whisk well to combine. Pour into warm crust.
• Bake until set and not wiggling, 45 minutes (cover with parchment-lined foil if pie is getting too dark during the last 15 minutes of baking). Transfer to a wire rack; let cool completely, at least 2 hours.
