• Also, you can top this pie with a layer of Cool Whip or canned ReadyWip before serving it.

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Beat the butter and sugar together until light.
Add the eggs and beat; then beat in vanilla. Sift the dry ingredients together
and add to the batter alternatively with the buttermilk; beat until smooth. Pour
into a deep dish pie shell and bake at 400F for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350F
and bake for 50-60 additional minutes.
Pie should turn a nice golden brown and a knife inserted should come out clean.
