Instructions:

• Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even baking.
• Step 2: Place your unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. If using a store-bought crust, skip this step.
• Step 3: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of granulated white sugar and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour. Whisk until well blended.
• Step 4: In another bowl, whisk together 2 cups of buttermilk, 3 beaten eggs, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until incorporated.
• Step 5: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Do not over-mix.
• Step 6: Add 1/4 cup of melted salted butter to the mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
• Step 7: Pour the pie filling into the prepared pie crust, smoothing out the top with a spatula.
• Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
• Step 9: Allow the pie to cool at room temperature for at least an hour before slicing. Serve plain or with whipped cream.
