Buttermilk Pie – The Best Pie You’Ve Never Heard Of

I tin empathize for sure recipes existence relatively unknown, only this buttermilk pie is non ane of them. Not solely is this tardily to make, too beautiful to hold back at, it’s every bit good bursting alongside the sort of bright, tangy flavor that no other custard-style pie tin touch. Like I said inwards the video, this is sort of similar a vanilla custard, meets lemon meringue pie, meets real lite cheesecake. Except better.

I’ve never had much problem finding buttermilk, fifty-fifty inwards regular, non-fancy grocery stores, only depending on where you lot alive inwards the world, patently that’s non the case. There are many “hacks” for making a substitute, unremarkably using milk too lemon juice, or vinegar, too I’ll permit you lot Google those at your leisure, only I’d endure to a greater extent than inclined to motility to a greater extent than or less yogurt, thinned out alongside to a greater extent than or less milk.

I intend that would endure closer to the tanginess of buttermilk, only every bit far every bit the recipe “working,” ane loving cup of whatever type of dairy production should yield similar results. Once your pie is made, it tin endure served “as is,” or topped alongside seasonal fruit. I went alongside raspberries, to a greater extent than oft than non for the pictures, only if you lot were going to practice this for the holidays, to a greater extent than or less persimmons, and/or pomegranate seeds would every bit good endure real nice. Regardless of how you lot serve it, I actually practice promise you lot reach this a motility soon. Enjoy!
