Buttermilk pie is a classic Southern dessert with a silky, custard-like filling that’s slightly tangy, sweet, and lightly caramelized on top when baked.
🥧 Buttermilk Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 unbaked pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 1½ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: lemon zest or nutmeg for extra flavor
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a bowl, cream together butter and sugar until smooth.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
- Stir in flour, salt, vanilla, and buttermilk until fully combined.
- Pour filling into the crust.
- Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the center is set but slightly wobbly.
- Cool completely before slicing (it thickens as it cools).
The result is a creamy, custard-style Buttermilk pie with a lightly golden top and a smooth, tangy-sweet flavor.
If you want, I can also give you a cornmeal version (more traditional Southern style) or a no-buttermilk substitute version.
