Buttermilk (custard) Pie
Buttermilk (Custard) Pie:
- 1/2 cup butter (softened....I put mine in the microwave for a little ....just til' it starts to melt)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 tsp. flour
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- about 1 tsp. of nutmeg ( my jar has holes in it....so I just use that to sprinkle!)
- 1 deep dish pie shell
Preheat oven to 350.
In a large bowl,cream the butter and sugar together until smooth. Add the rest of the ingredients together and mix well. Pour into unbaked pie shell and then sprinkle the top with nutmeg! Bake for about an hour or until top is golden brown. Let cool for about an hour before slicing if you like it warm,or you can wrap with foil and put in fridge for the next day! Serve with full glass of milk! Enjoy!!

Homemade Vanilla Cinnamon Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
I'm going to share with you this cake recipe I made today for my son's birthday. He wanted me to make him a cinnamon cake. Well,the kind from a box are good but....they crumble easy. So,I searched the Internet and found this recipe...I did tweak it a bit. He loves cream cheese anything so,I knew he would love the icing! The cake came out great! But it was heavy,not light like most of the cakes I make. The icing was really good,very rich though. But I didn't like the two together!! I know sounds crazy,but the cake was good just by itself and the icing I think would be better on a different cake!?!!?I don't know,maybe I'm just weird! But the kids really liked it,only one child couldn't eat it all because he said it was too rich. I think I will play around in the future to see if I can lighten it up a bit! Anyways hope you enjoy!! Please leave me a comment and let me know how you like it!! Thanks for stopping by!
