Buttermilk Pie is an old-fashioned Southern favorite. You don’t have to like buttermilk to like this great tasting custard like dessert. Buttermilk pie is great for the holidays or just any time and so easy to make. You can’t go wrong with this pie and I have never served it to anyone who didn’t like it. This is an old-fashioned, easy recipe your family will love. This pie is wonderful for any occasion or event and you won’t bring any home. It keeps for several days in the refrigerator and is wonderful with coffee as a dessert or with milk for a snack.
Buttermilk Pie Simple Ingredients:
Eggs
White granulated sugar
Butter
Vanilla extract
Buttermilk
Ground nutmeg
All-purpose flour
Deep dish or two regular pie crusts
You can make this pie in two regular crusts or one deep dish pie crust. The pie pictured is a deep dish. You do not need to prebake the crust for this pie. I have never tried using buttermilk replacement powder in this pie. I honestly think it’s best made the way it is written.
“Best pie EVER! I’ve eaten it since I was tiny. Every year on Thanksgiving morning, my aunt and I would sneak away and take a slice out of the perfect pie and eat it. Such a great memory. Thank you for sharing with others.” – Laura
