BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees (175 degrees C).

BAKED BUTTERMILK PUMPKIN DOUGHNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray 2 standard-size, 6-well (3 1/2-inch) doughnut pans with cooking spray.
• Stir together flour, pumpkin pie spice, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together brown sugar, butter, oil, buttermilk, whole egg, egg yolk, pumpkin puree, and vanilla in a large bowl until smooth. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture, stirring just until no streaks of flour remain.
• Spoon mixture into prepared doughnut pans (they'll be quite full), and bake until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Remove doughnuts from pans and transfer to a wire rack to cool while you prepare glaze.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat just until it begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in brown sugar, cream, and maple syrup. Return pan to low heat and cook until bubbly, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and whisk in powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
• Spread about 4 teaspoons of glaze over top of each doughnut, then immediately sprinkle with pecans (if using). Let stand until glaze is set, about 15 minutes.

BUTTERMILK PUMPKIN SPICE BREAD

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour a 9x5-inch baking dish. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, and spices. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, pumpkin puree, and oil until combined.
• Stir in eggs and vanilla until incorporated.
• Add dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
• Stir in nuts if using.
• Pour batter into prepared pan.
• Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. If the bread starts to brown too quickly, tent with foil.
• Remove from oven, and let cool in pan for 10 minutes.
• Remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack.

BUTTERMILK PUMPKIN PIE

Steps:

• Make the crust: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor to combine. Add the shortening and half of the butter, a few pieces at a time, and pulse until it looks like coarse meal. Add the remaining butter and pulse until the dough begins forming a ball. Add the vinegar and 2 tablespoons ice water; pulse a few more times until the dough is smooth. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and squeeze together, then roll out into a 12-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate, pressing the dough into the bottom and up the side. Fold the overhanging dough under itself and crimp with your fingers or a fork. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
• Put a baking sheet on the middle oven rack and preheat to 375 degrees F. Line the crust with foil, then fill with pie weights or dried beans. Transfer to the hot baking sheet and bake until lightly golden around the edge, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack, remove the foil and weights and let cool completely; leave the baking sheet in the oven.
• Meanwhile, make the filling: Whisk the pumpkin puree, melted butter, eggs, brown sugar, granulated sugar, allspice and cinnamon in a medium bowl until well combined. Add the buttermilk and flour and whisk until smooth. Pour into the cooled crust and return to the hot baking sheet in the oven. Bake until the filling is set, 50 minutes to 1 hour (the top may crack slightly). Transfer to a rack and let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
