Gather 1 cup of unsalted butter (at room temperature), 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, 4 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 cups of all-purpose flour,
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Gently fold the diced strawberries into the batter using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Serve slices of buttermilk pie on dessert plates, optionally garnished with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
Bake in the preheated oven for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the top starts to brown too quickly, tent it with aluminum foil.
