Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pie Crust
  • 2 cups Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Flour
  • 1/2 tbsp Cornmeal yellow
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 8 tbsp Butter melted
  • 3 whole Eggs beaten
  • 1 whole egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 tsp Vinegar

Praline topping

  • 1/2 cup Dark Karo Syrup
  • 2 tbsp Brown Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 tsp Vanilla
  • 2 tsp Coffee dark brewed
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Pecans chopped
  • 1/2 cup Coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Filling: In bowl combine sugar, flour, cornmeal and salt. Add softened butter to dry ingredients and mix until crumbly, pour in beaten eggs, and mix on medium/high speed until smooth and creamy, 3+ minutes.
  • In large measuring cup combine buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla, and vinegar whisk together, gradually add to the sugar/egg mixture beat for an additional 3 minutes.
  • Roll out pie crust, lay into a 9" pie plate, crimp the edges, poke bottom of crust with a fork a few times, pour in filling. Bake for 20 minutes uncovered, then cover with a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent crust from burning, bake for an additional 25-30 minutes. Let cool completely.
  • Praline: In saucepan combine brown sugar and cornstarch turn heat on medium, whisk in Karo syrup. Cook until mixture begins to bubble up, cook for 3 minutes add in vanilla and coffee, continue to cook for another 2 minutes, remove from heat stir in coconut and chopped pecans. Stir vigorously to cool and to create a airy texture, do this until your arm hurts! For me that's about 3 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes then spoon over the top of the Buttermilk Pie, carefully spreading to cover the top. Refrigerate, or immediately dig in!
