THE best buttermilk pie recipe
I found this recipe many years ago and it has been a family favorite ever since.
It is SO easy, you won’t believe it, so I want to share the best buttermilk pie recipe with you!
ingredients for buttermilk pie
pie crust
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 eggs
directions
Combine all ingredients in a mixer bowl. Beat until smooth. Pour into the prepared pie crust. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour.
And that’s it!!! The easiest and most delicious pie you’ll ever eat!!
tips for this pie
One tip for this pie is DON’T overcook. If you take the pie out of the oven after 1 hour and it is still jiggly in the center, that’s ok. Every time, I have left it longer, it seems overcooked.
Also, if it seems to start getting too brown on the top before the baking time is up, I just lay a piece of foil over the top. This way, the pie continues to cook, but the top won’t get too brown.
My favorite way to serve this pie, is warm and with strawberries on top. I just slice up the pie, plate it, and add a few sliced strawberries right before you serve it.
I like to display the pie on a plain white pedestal cakestand for a simple but pretty presentation.
It truly is delicious, and your guests will think you have slaved all day making this pie!
Ssshh, I won’t tell, if you don’t!!
And by the way, this pie would be perfect for a Valentine’s dessert, which is right around the corner!
happy baking,
michele

Thanks for this recipe. Buttermilk pie is my favorite and I’ve never had a really good recipe. Do you have a tool to crimp the edges of your crust. Mine never look uniform like yours. Thanks, Sharon.
Ha!! That would be because mine are from the freezer section at Kroger!!
This recipe is super easy and delish! I have never tackled pie crust so I just buy the deep dish frozen crusts and it is still delicious!!
Does the pie shell need to be baked?
Thank you
I use a frozen pie crust and it does not need to be baked before hand.

I have been looking for a buttermilk pie recipe, thank you! On one of your tablescapes, you have a bird house or a terrarium, did you make this? If you did, may I have the instructions? My house has many bird cages or bird houses in this shape. Thank you!

I purchased the little greenhouse years ago. It was made from reclaimed materials.

Hello, it’s at the bottom of the post.
You can print out, if you like.
Thank you for this old and new recipe that I will be introducing to my family for Thanksgiving. I forgot about this oldie but goodie. I haven’t eaten since the early Sixties when my Great-Grandmother made it quite often.I’m introducing this Butter milk pie to my family. Thanks again .
It is SO delicious. And it is super simple to make! I’m so glad you are trying it! Happy Thanksgiving!
Looks. Good o hope I. Get mire recipes
Thanks so much! So glad you like it!
I love buttermilk pie it’s one of my favorites. I have been using my Grandmother’s recipe which is very similar but says to beat the egg whites and fold them into the rest of the ingredients. I will definitely try this one sounds like it might be a little easier to make.
Do you thaw the piecrust before you put the filling in and bake it?
Yes, I thaw the piecrust, pour the filling in and bake all together. I leave it exactly 1 hour, even though it sometimes looks like it’s not done. When I leave it longer, it always overcooks it.
That’s so cool that you have your grandmother’s recipe! Happy Thanksgiving!
