Hillbilly Pie RecipeHillbilly Pie is a simple, comforting dessert made with a combination of sweet and savory flavors. It’s a rustic, easy-to-make pie that typically uses ingredients like sugar, eggs, butter, and nuts.
Here’s a classic version of the recipe:
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1/2 cup butter (melted)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or regular milk)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar (optional, for topping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Pie Crust: If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in your pie pan and set it aside. If you’re making your own crust, prepare it and place it in the pie dish.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until well combined. Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the flour and salt to the mixture and stir to combine. The batter should be thick but spreadable.
- Add Pecans and Milk: Fold in the chopped pecans and slowly add the buttermilk (or regular milk) into the batter. The mixture should become thinner and slightly pourable.
- Pour Into the Crust: Pour the pie filling into your prepared pie crust.
- Bake the Pie: Bake the pie at 350°F for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown on top. You may need to cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if it starts to brown too quickly.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool to room temperature before slicing. Optionally, sprinkle with a little brown sugar for added sweetness and texture before serving.
Enjoy your warm, rustic Hillbilly Pie! It pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
