#1176 - Buttermilk Pie

(by Shirley McNevich)

2 cups flour
2 cups Domino's dark brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup Crisco shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
cinnamon for sprinkling
1 unbaked pie dough (or make your own)

In a bowl add flour, brown sugar, Crisco and salt--use your hands to mix it into crumbs. Remove 1/3 cup of the crumb mixture--set aside. Add the baking soda and the buttermilk to the crumb mixture (NOT the crumbs you set aside)--stir until mixed. Spray a 9" pie plate with Pam. Place the unbaked pie dough into the pie plate--flute the edges. Spray the inside of the pie dough with Pam. Pour the buttermilk mixture into the unbaked pie dough. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs over the top. Sprinkle the whole top of the pie with cinnamon (to your taste). Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Test with a toothpick for doneness. Let it cool completely.
