How To Make Jeff Ruby Butter Pie

Preparing the Crust

• Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
• Add Butter: Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry ingredients. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Add Water: Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.
• Chill Dough: Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to fit your pie dish.
• Prepare Crust for Baking: Place the dough into the pie dish, trim the excess, and prick the bottom with a fork. Line with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
• Bake Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment paper and weights, then bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool.

Preparing the Filling

• Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
• Mix in Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and salt, mixing until well combined.
• Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

Assembling the Pie

• Fill Crust: Pour the butter filling into the cooled pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
• Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top.
• Cool: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving.

What to Serve with Jeff Ruby Butter Pie

Jeff Ruby Butter Pie is delightful on its own, I tried this recipe with Mamey Ice Cream and believe me the taste was perfect and delicious, but you can serve it with a dollop of whipped cream, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or fresh berries to enhance its flavor. A hot cup of coffee or tea also pairs wonderfully with this rich dessert.

My Pro Tips for a Perfect Recipe

• Use Cold Butter for the Crust: Cold butter creates a flakier crust.
• Room Temperature Ingredients for Filling: Ensures a smooth, creamy texture.
• Don’t Overbake: The filling should be set but still slightly jiggly in the center when you remove it from the oven.
• Cool Completely: Let the pie cool completely before slicing to ensure clean cuts.

Recipe Variations

Nutty Butter Pie: Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for a crunchy twist.
Chocolate Butter Pie: Mix in 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the filling for a rich chocolate flavor.
Citrus Butter Pie: Add 1 tablespoon of lemon or orange zest to the filling for a refreshing citrus hint.
