Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Butter a 9-inch pie dish lightly on the bottom and sides.
Step 2
Cream butter and sugar in a large bowl, beating until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until the mixture looks smooth.
Step 4
Stir in flour, vinegar, and vanilla until just combined. The filling will be thin.
Step 5
Pour filling directly into the buttered pie dish. It will puff and set as it bakes.
Step 6
Bake 12–14 minutes until the top is golden and jiggles slightly in the center when tapped.
Step 7
Cool for 5 minutes, then serve warm with a fork. The filling will be custardy inside.
