How To Make buttermilk zucchini pie

  • Step 1
    Whisk eggs, egg yolk and both sugars in large bowl until blended.
  • Step 2
    Stir in flour, then pumpkin pie spice and then vanilla blending fully before next addition.
  • Step 3
    Stir in zucchini, butter and buttermilk. (for the zucchini: I peel, wash, slice and boil until soft. Then I remove and drain fully and put it in a blender until super smooth.)

    Pour mixture into crust and bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Cover edges with foil or shield and continue baking for 30 minutes. Remove shield or foil, bake for 15 minutes.
