Classic Buttermilk Pie
This Classic Buttermilk Pie recipe comes from my 93-year-old aunt who lived in the South during the Depression. She said this was a popular “desperation” pie which was made out of whatever ingredients folks had hand. It’s a light and lovely custard-style pie. The sweetness is cut by the tang of buttermilk which gives the pie filling a creamy texture that’s heaven-sent.
Editors’ note: If you’d like to add a classic lemon flavor, include the optional ingredients below.
Serve with fresh berries, mint, and/or whipped cream!
