Buttermilk pie

Buttermilk pie is a Southern classic that has been around for generations. Its creamy, custard-like filling and flaky pie crust make it a favorite among dessert lovers.

Buttermilk pie recipes have been passed down from generation to generation, with each family adding their own unique twist. Some recipes call for the addition of lemon juice or zest, while others include nutmeg or cinnamon in the filling. No matter what the variation, buttermilk pie is always delicious.

The history of buttermilk pie is believed to date back to the early 1800s. It was during this time that buttermilk was first used in baking, as it was a by-product of butter production. Buttermilk pie became a popular way to use up this ingredient, and it soon became a staple in Southern cooking.

Advice

When making buttermilk pie, it is important to use an oven thermometer to ensure your oven is set to the correct temperature. Also, use a deep dish pie plate for best results since the filling is quite thick. When making the filling, be sure to use cold ingredients and mix everything together until it is well combined. Finally, bake the pie on the middle rack of the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing and serving.
