Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 deep dish pie shell (either your own recipe or storebought)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 400°F.2
Beat the butter and sugar together until light.3
Add the eggs and beat; then beat in vanilla.4
Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the batter alternatively with the buttermilk; beat until smooth.5
Pour into a deep dish pie shell and bake at 400F for 10 minutes, reduce heat to 350F and bake for 50-60 additional minutes.6
Pie should turn a nice golden brown and a knife inserted should come out clean.7
I think it is absolutely best when it is just still warm. (Not too hot, or it will be like napalm.).

I make this recipe so many times. Every time everyone says the same thing. "I have never heard of buttermilk pies before." and "Wow, it's so good." It is on the sweet side, I usually use 1 cup of sugar instead. I have served it with macerated berries with lemon zest. Or by itself. It's delicious. In fact I am making it again today that's why I am looking it up. If you live in a location where there's Trader Joe's. I use their pie crust, it's nice and flaky and very easy.

I didn't have any luck with this recipe. My batter was lumpy and when I took it out of the oven the crust had risen out of the pan and split apart. The flavor was ok but I was quite disappointed in the overall pie.

Delicious! I made it with a pre-made shortbread crust. Next time, I'm going to use an Oreo Cookie crust and a mini muffin pan to make individual tartlets for a Memorial Day picnic. Thanks for the recipe, Thomas!

This recipe randomly came up while I was searching for something else, and I'm sure glad it did. I had never heard of buttermilk pie before, but just loved this! It was like a pie-full of sweet, creamy, buttery custard... it was great warm AND after being popped into the fridge. Perfect recipe!
