Carrie Underwood’s Pie
Posted in: Selena
The popularity of buttermilk pie has risen since the pastry was rumored to be one of the goodies served at Carrie Underwood’s July 10th wedding to Mike Fisher. Chris Bragg, the owner of Greensboro, Georgia’s Yesterday Cafe will neither confirm not deny that he baked pies for the event, but according to Canada’s National Post, he has been filling requests for the confections from “all over North America.” –Tammy Ragusa
LANITA FRANKLIN’S BUTTERMILK PIE
(chef at Yesterday Cafe)
- 1 3/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1/3 cup melted butter
- 3/4 cup buttermilk
- Unbaked nine-inch (23-centimetre) pie shell
1. Combine sugar and flour and whisk until flour is completely mixed into the sugar. Add vanilla and whisk until evenly mixed in with sugar and flour.
2. Beat the eggs well, then add them. Whisk well. Whisk in the melted butter and then add buttermilk and whip well before pouring into the unbaked pie shell.
3. Bake in a commercial convection oven for 45 minutes at about 350 F (170 C). (The temperature could be as low as 325 F (160 C) or as high as 400 F (200 C), depending on your oven.) Shake the pie a little to make sure it is not undercooked. It should barely shake in the middle. Crust should be golden brown and slightly flaky.
4. When you cut the pie, make sure you do not have a separation with a cakey layer near the top. The pie should have a custard consistency throughout. Buttermilk pies should be refrigerated after cooling, but remain fresh-tasting for at least a week.
My husband and I were just passing through PA on our way to NY (he’s a truck driver) and I heard you talking about this. My mother-in-law has made buttermilk pie for Thanksgiving the last 50 years, and her mother before that, and so on lol It’s nothing special. In fact, it’s like eating a glob of crystalized sugar lol It’s so sweet it gives you the pucker effect that a lemon provides. I don’t see why people care so much what celebrities do honestly lol And personally I don’t like anything Carrie Underwood does. Nor any of the new “country” singers. It’s not country it’s soft pop. It doesn’t even deserve to be called country music. For example: The song playing right now about toes in the water and such. It condones the use of an illegal substance “Roll a big fat one” That’s some crap you hear in a rap song. But on the plus side, your show is pretty funny
