Kentucky Sawdust Pie
A delightfully sweet and creamy pie with a unique texture, often made with a simple crust and a rich, custard-like filling.
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.66 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
For the Filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cup pecans, chopped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- For the crust: In a bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate.
- For the filling: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until well combined. Gradually whisk in the flour until smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla extract, milk, and melted butter. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
Notes
This pie is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a dollop of whipped cream.
