Buttermilk Pecan Pie

Of all of the things I cook, here's my most requested dessert! I always have to make two of these, and they only last for one day before they're gone!!

Please send me your comments after you've tried this one! I think you'll find it yummy!

BUTTERMILK PECAN PIE

1 9-inch pie crust
1 stick unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
½ cup chopped pecans

Preheat oven to 300 degrees

Cream the butter and sugar in an electric mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.

Add the vanilla and beat to blend.

Add eggs, one at a time, beating well and scraping down side of bowl after each addition.
Combine the flour and salt. Add to the mixer in thirds, alternating with the buttermilk. Stop to scrape down side of bowl after each addition. Set aside.

Scatter the pecans in the bottom of the pie crust.

Pour the buttermilk mixture over the pecans and bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes in preheated oven. Set on wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate until well chilled before serving.

These are always a hit on Game Day! Try fixing these, and get ready for your “team” to give you a standing ovation, and maybe even a “Game Ball!”

2 ½ lbs chicken wings, third join removed

Egg Wash:
2 eggs, beaten ½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons water ½ teaspoon pepper

Flour Mixture:
1 ½ cups flour
1 tablespoon, plus 1 ½ teaspoon your favorite dry Bar-B-Q rub seasoning
½ cup bread crumbs
1 cup oil (for frying)
1 cup your favorite Bar-B-Q sauce
juice of ½ lime

Wisk egg wash ingredients in medium bowl and set aside. Combine flour and seasoning in plastic bag and set aside. Rinse chicken wings and then pat dry and set aside.

Heat oil in frying pan or electric skillet to 350 degrees F.
Dredge chicken wings in flour mixture. Dip in egg wash. Dredge again in flour mixture and then finish with a coating of bread crumbs.

Fry wings in small batches, not allowing them to touch each other while frying. It usually takes about 15-20minutes. Remove from frying pan or skillet and drain on paper towel. Allow the oil to re-heat and repeat, until all wings are cooked.

Combine Bar-B-Q sauce and lime juice in a large bowl. Stir in chicken wings, making sure to completely coat all wings with the sauce.

Place wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Finish in oven under broiler for 3-4 minutes. Turn wings over and broil again for 3-4 minutes.

ENJOY!!
