Every Sunday night Zane and I crave something sweet. This can be dangerous because you never know what me might end up making. It's been everything from cream puffs to snickerdoodles (his ultimate fav). Well, this Sunday was no different than those in the past and we started craving something way too late. That didn't stop us because we were up watching the Star Wars Weekend on cable and we needed sustinance to make it through Episode II. Zane wanted Buttermilk Pie - you know the kind Mark's Feed Store is famous for. Could we find a recipe that was even close to the famous one? OHHHHH YES! So, at 11pm (again - way too late) we began baking our Buttermilk Pie and with a 1 hour baking time, we were eating it at midnight just as Episode II ended. It was delicious. I would not reccomend starting the baking soooo late - well, actually, it doesn't matter when you make it, just do! Here is the recipe:
INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup margarine, softened
2 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C.)
In a large bowl, cream margarine and sugar. Beat in flour and salt. Blend in the eggs. Stir in the buttermilk and vanilla. Pour into pie shell.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) and bake 45 minutes, or until filling is set.
I got it from here at AllRecipes.com! Let me know what you think. I wish I had a photo of it, but it was gone way to fast to even think of getting the camera out.

It just makes me smile, thinking of you cooking pie at 11pm at night, and relaxing with Zane. Im so glad it turned out well!
Yummy! Sounds like such a good treat! I am always looking for new and good things to eat. I also was laughing because it was nice to know that I'm not the only one who stays up way to late watching movies (Cloverfield last night since Rich was on call) and eatting delicious goodies!
Miss you!
I'll have to try that recipe. Do you think it will fit in with my diet?
Too funny... love the idea of you guys baking at that time of the day... and the fact that you make the late night snacks together!
