This buttermilk pie is rich and velvety due to the generous use of butter and eggs, with sugar providing sweetness and a touch of salt for balance.
The star ingredient, buttermilk, adds a unique tanginess that complements the sweet notes, while vanilla extract adds warmth.
Baked in a golden-brown pie crust, it’s a nostalgic and irresistible dessert with a delightful contrast of flavors.
You’ll need:
- ½ cup of unsalted butter or margarine, softened
- 1 cup of sugar
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- 3 eggs, room temperature
- 1 cup of buttermilk, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 (8-inch) pie shell (store-bought or use our pie shell recipe)
Substitutions And Additions
BUTTERMILK: We’d highly recommend getting real buttermilk for this easy pie recipe rather than making your own.
PIE SHELL: You can also use a 9-inch pie shell in this recipe.
VANILLA EXTRACT: Get creative and swap out vanilla extract for almond extract, lemon zest, or even a touch of bourbon for a unique twist on the classic pie.
LEMON ZEST: Add a zesty brightness to your buttermilk pie by incorporating a teaspoon of lemon zest.
NUTMEG: Enhance the warm, cozy flavors of your pie by including a pinch of nutmeg along with the cinnamon. It’ll infuse the filling with a hint of spiciness.
