Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- 1.5 cups (350 ml) sugar
- 1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk
- ½ cup (60 g) biscuit mix
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) melted butter
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preparation: Position the oven rack centrally and preheat to 180°C / 350°F, simultaneously greasing a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
- Mixing: Utilize a large mixing bowl and electric mixer on medium speed to blend all ingredients until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture without any visible lumps.
- Filling: Gently pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan, using a spatula to distribute evenly and eliminate potential air pockets, ensuring a smooth surface.
- Baking: Transfer the pie pan to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, monitoring doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center – it should emerge completely clean without any wet batter.
- Cooling and Serving: Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest on a wire cooling rack for 10-15 minutes to allow the filling to set, then slice into equal portions and serve warm, optionally embellishing with a dollop of whipped cream or a delicate sprinkle of powdered sugar.
Notes
- Prevent Lumpy Texture: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature and mix thoroughly with an electric mixer to achieve a smooth, consistent batter without clumps.
- Master the Doneness Test: Use the toothpick method carefully – when inserted into the center, it should come out clean with no wet batter, indicating a perfectly baked pie.
- Cooling is Crucial: Let the pie rest on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes after baking, which helps the filling set and makes cutting clean, precise slices much easier.
- Serving Suggestion: Enhance the pie’s presentation by adding a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream to elevate its visual and flavor appeal.
