Buttermilk Pie is an old-fashioned Southern classic. It’s the best of the best, crème de la crème, the bee’s knees and it’s very, very good!
Some of the best desserts are the simplest to make and this pie is no exception. If you’re looking for an easy dessert that’s always a crowd-pleaser, this is your pie. It’s silky, slightly sweet, and incredibly decadent.

This classic treat is simple enough to make––just combine a few basic ingredients. The key to success is in the buttermilk, which provides a tart flavor that harmonizes with a sweet, flaky crust. And let’s not forget a generous helping of sugar and
Finally, a spoonful of the best vanilla adds an aromatic surge of flavor that takes the taste of the pie to another level.
Although it takes time to bake this classic, the effort is well worth it. The result? A fragrant and comforting treat that will bring family and friends together for generations to come.

Ingredients you’ll need
This is a crazy simple dessert to make. It has very few ingredients that you probably always have in stock. You can make my favorite pie crust recipe, my Coconut Oil Pie Crust, or take a shortcut and use a store-bought crust. I used a prepared pie crust for this Buttermilk Pie Recipe.

If you’re like me and like to feed people, this pie will make you and your quest light up with joy! A pie from scratch is always welcomed. Am I right? It’s a great pie to take to potlucks. It’s so easy to make and doesn’t cost a ton of money. Both are good qualities, right?
To top it off, you may want to serve buttermilk pie with a big dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Funny you ask, just yesterday I was thinking about making it with lemon juice instead of the vanilla. I haven't tried it before, but think it will be awesome! I'll message you when I do! Have a great day!!
