Buttermilk pie.

It's delicious I hear.  I wouldn't know, because I never have actually eaten it.  But I'm trusting people I know that have dignified classy taste buds.

Anyhow...I was planning a little visit to my good friends at camp, and to encourage them a little, I thought I would bring them a little treat.  I happen to know that my friend Jilly likes buttermilk pie.  Heck--I think she  just likes food in general!

So I set out to make a buttermilk pie.  After perusing my favorite site, I found a recipe for Buttermilk Pie with Blackberry Sauce with I thought would do the trick.

Definitely read the recipe and follow it...I just thought I'd throw visual steps in the process at you.  And provide some tips from the non-pro baker!

When cutting your butter, it's best to make sure its really cold.  This way it doesn't incorporate into the flour mixture fully--makes for a better crust, flaky.  Goodness.

Mix up all the dry crust ingredients first.  When it comes to crust making...order is important!

Marriage.  It's a good thing.

Mix (or mex...if you are some people I know)...until it looks like the beach in a bowl.  I'd kill for a sandcastle right about now.  :)

Some people like to be all classy and measure out the dough, then roll it out and place it in the pie dish.  Me...I went with the press and go method.  Whatever crusts your pie, no matter.

Eggs.  Yumm...I know I've been promising info on eggs, it'll happen!  Patience, grasshopper!

Sugar mixture.  Mexture.  :)

Add sugar to eggs.  Marry.

Slowly add in buttermilk.  Cutardy goodness.

Pour into shell.  Bake...sing it with me now:  "It's getting hot in here, lets bake up nice and firm!  I am getting so hot, I wanna take my crust off!"

And melt the jam down.  Add the liquor.  I would have had a pic of this process, but seeing as how I was trying to prevent a 5 alarm fire at the same time, it didn't happen.  Tip--REMOVE jam from heat, then add alcohol.  Turns out, Alcohol is HIGHLY flammable.  who knew?

And the pie.  It looked much more appetizing before I drove for an hour with it bouncing around the front seat of my car.  But I forgot to snap that pic as well.  Hence...I'm the non-pro baker. :)

Check out Joy's pie.....it looks much yummier...but I'm sure they tasted the same.
