BUTTERMILK-CARDAMOM PIE

Steps:

• Crust: In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut in shortening and butter until mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea- to almond-size pieces of butter and a few larger chunks remaining (work quickly so that butter and shortening remain cold).
• In a small bowl, beat egg with 1/3 cup water and vinegar. Pour egg mixture around edges of flour mixture while working it in with a fork, just until dough starts to clump together. Add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Do not overmix. Lightly dust your hands and work surface with flour. Turn dough out onto surface and press it together. Divide dough in half, shape each half into a flat disk, and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days.
• Place one disk of dough on a lightly floured surface (reserve remaining disk for another use). If dough is too firm, let stand 5 to 10 minutes before rolling. Dust a rolling pin with flour and roll out dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Brush off any excess flour after rolling. Fold dough in half or gently roll it up around rolling pin and lift to place in a 9-inch pie dish. Press dough lightly into bottom and up sides of dish. Using kitchen shears or a paring knife, trim to a 1/2-inch overhang; fold under. Crimp edges as desired. Prick bottom of dough all over with a fork. Cover with plastic. Refrigerate or freeze at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees with racks in center and lower third. Line dough with parchment, pressing it into corners and edges; fill with dried beans or rice. Bake on lower rack 10 to 15 minutes. Remove beans or rice and parchment; bake on center rack until golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Transfer to a wire rack and immediately brush very lightly with egg white. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees.
• Filling: In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat butter and vanilla seeds over low, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Add butter mixture to sugar mixture and stir until thoroughly combined. Add eggs, one at a time, whisking after each addition. Whisk in buttermilk until smooth and well blended.
• Pour filling into warm crust. Place pie dish on a rimmed baking sheet; bake on center rack, rotating halfway through, until filling is set around edges but wobbles slightly in center when gently shaken, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool at least 1 hour before serving.

CLASSIC BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt and sugar. Use hands to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs and no pieces are larger than a pea. Stir in the cold buttermilk until mixture starts to clump together. Use hands to form the dough into a tight ball, pat it into a disk about 1 1/2-inch thick and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Chill for a least an hour and up to a day.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. On a floured surface, roll pie crust into large circle. Press dough into a pie pan. Line the crust with a sheet of Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil and fill the foil with pie weights or dried rice/beans. Make sure to get the weights into the corners of the pie and press into the bottom and sides. Chill the crust for 15 minutes and then bake for 15 minutes. Remove piecrust from the oven and remove the weights and foil. Reduce the oven to 350 degrees F and let the crust cool while you make the filling.
• Beat egg whites in a stand mixer with whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Set aside. Using the whisk attachment, cream butter and sugar. Add yolks to butter-sugar mixture and combine well. Add the flour, lemon juice, nutmeg and salt to the mixture. Slowly add in buttermilk and mix for 1 minute. Buttermilk will curdle slightly but will smooth out upon baking.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the buttermilk mixture. Pour mixture into the crust. Smooth with spatula and bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden and set in the middle. Cool thoroughly on a rack before serving.

MAMA'S BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk and vanilla extract.
• In a large bowl, add salt, corn starch, and sugar.
• Melt butter in the microwave. Pour the butter on top of dry ingredients. Mix well.
• Once all this is mixed then pour the egg mixture on top. Stir until all is incorporated.
• Pour into pie shells evenly. Bake for 50 minutes to 1 hour. Pies will be a little jiggle but not runny when done.
• *TIP: If you have a pie shield, place it on top of crust about 35 min into cooking. If you don't you can cover the crust with foil to keep it from burning.
• *TIP: When the pie is done, if the butter looks like it is sitting on top of the pies. Just give it time to rest and it will seep back into the pie. Also placing the pie in the fridge will also help this.
