A Post for Michael

My favorite cookbook, Food For Thought, has a recipe for a Buttermilk Custard Pie. I fixed it for some friends the other night and Michael - an avid blog reader - wanted the recipe. So here it is!

Buttermilk Custard Pie

Serves 8

3 eggs

1-1/2 cups sugar

1/4 cup butter, melted

1 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 (9-inch) unbaked pastry shell

(I made my crust using the crust from this recipe)

Beat eggs well. Add sugar slowly, and beat well. Beat in butter. Add buttermilk and vanilla. Beat until all ingredients are well blended. Pour into pastry shell and bake at 350 for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Chill and serve.

Seriously though - go buy this cookbook if you don't have it. I love it! Anytime I have made something from it people go crazy and want the recipe and think I'm a great cook. (I just follow other people's good directions!)

Lastly, I'd like to say that I want to try this recipe super soon! It looks incredible and David almost ate the computer screen when I showed him.
