I think it was wonderful. It was the first time I ever made one..I always wanted to make one but just never got there...I had a whole quart of buttermilk so I said ok Janice it's now or never ..lol..

Pat-in-the-Pan Crust Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups Flour (All Purpose Unbleached)
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
3 Tablespoons cold milk
2/3 cup oil (vegetable or canola–make sure it is fresh!)

Sister Liza Jane’s Southern Buttermilk Pie Ingredients:

1 1/4 cups sugar
3 tablespoons flour
4 eggs, whisked
1 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1 stick butter, melted and cooled (1/2 cup of butter)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
1 tablespoon lemon zest
pinch of grated Nutmeg

Pat-in-the-Pan Crust Directions:

Whisk together dry ingredients in a bowl until blended
Add wet ingredients and stir gently until the dough forms a ball.( For a tender crust, do not over mix).
Put dough into pie pan and pat it thin and flat to conform to the shape of the pan.
Crimp the edges.
You are now ready for the filling.
Whisk dry ingredients…
Add the milk…
A note about the oil: Make sure the oil is fresh because if it has begun to turn rancid, your crust will taste bitter and that’s no fun! (I learned the hard way!)
Stir until the dough forms a ball…
That’s it! See how simple! Put dough in pie pan. deep dish I used
Pat dough flat and even pressing up the sides of the pan.
Crimp the edge by using your thumb on one hand to push the dough down into a “V” shape and your fingers on your other hand to support the dough on either side of your thumb. Now you are ready for the filling!
