Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that your pie cooks evenly throughout.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Add Other Ingredients: To the egg and sugar mixture, add the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk again until everything is fully incorporated.
Prepare the Pie Crust: If you're using a homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into your pie pan. For a store-bought crust, simply place it in the pan, pressing down gently.
Pour In the Filling: Carefully pour your creamy filling into the prepared pie crust.
Bake: Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.
Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing. Enjoy your delicious Best Southern Pie!
