Buttermilk Pie II

Buttermilk pie has become a Thanksgiving tradition since we tried it for the first time last year. I tried a different recipe this year, one that added lemon zest and juice, courtesy of add a pinch. It turned out delicious. The addition of lemon really added great flavor to the pie. Looking at the photos  I realize now that I didn’t let it brown as much as I should have, but it still tasted wonderful.

Next year my top priority is to start making my pie crust from scratch as pre-made pie crusts tend to fall apart very easily and it can be difficult to serve up presentable slices.

  2. I've made this many times with only 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1cup sugar baked at 375 until it is golden brown and sets ( without jiggling). It's more like a custard pie. I will try adding the lemon to my recipe for a change of pace.

    1. Sounds great PamJay! If I made this again I would definitely let it become a bit more golden brown on top. The lemon juice is nice in it.
