Buttermilk Pie

Recipe #56 | 1½ hours | 20 min prep | add private note

This recipe was originally noted by my wife on a cooking show on TV. It was touted as an Amish recipe. All we had for a long time was the list of ingredients on the back of an old envelope. We lost it for a good while and after I found it, I originally posted it so I would never lose it again. Thank you all for all your interest ... this is my absolute favorite pie. During the "lost" phase I must have gained 20 pounds trying numerous different buttermilk pie recipes ... I was so glad when I found it again as only a few even came close in taste and texture. I've noted a lot of people mentioning reducing the sugar, which is fine, but bear in mind that the sugar quantity was a major difference between this and other recipes I tested when it was lost. Hey, it is a PIE, it is SUPPOSED to be sweet. Enjoy

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. 2
    Beat the butter and sugar together until light.
  3. 3
    Add the eggs and beat; then beat in vanilla.
  4. 4
    Sift the dry ingredients together and add to the batter alternatively with the buttermilk; beat until smooth.
  5. 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. 6
    Pie should turn a nice golden brown and a knife inserted should come out clean.
  7. 7
    I think it is absolutely best when it is just still warm. (Not too hot, or it will be like napalm.).

This pie is delicious!! I made one with the full amount of sugar,and one with about 1 1/4 cups. since i have quite a sweet tooth i liked them both. I kicked the temp down to 350 as soon as i put the pie in the oven so it wouldnt burn before set. Also placing a layer of foil over the pie can keep it from burning before the pie is set. I did add about a tablespoon of lemon zest to give it kind of a kick and it turned out really good. I plan on making several of these during the holidays for friends and family. Thanks for posting this!

    My attempt turned out great. I did substitute some splenda for a little bit of the sugar.

    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!
