Heavenly Southern Buttermilk Pie

I am seriously intrigued by: Vinegar Pie, Chess Pie and Buttermilk Pie. And I'm planning to try and whip one up somehow. Here is a recipe for Lemon Chess Pie. This one could easily be made non dairy by using dairy free margarine.


Ingredients:
• 1 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon finely ground cornmeal
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 4 large eggs
• 1 8- or 9-inch pie crust (not deep dish)

Method:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a blender, pulse sugar and cornmeal together until combined. Add butter to the blender, along with lemon juice, vanilla and salt; blend until incorporated. Add eggs, one at a time, blending until very smooth. Pour batter into crust and bake until the pie is just set in the middle, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack before serving.

So for Christmas I made the Lemon Chess pie with the recipe from my previous reply and it was amazing. The only change I made was adding NuCoa Margarine in place of butter. I have to say the O.P.'s pic of the Buttermilk pie was a bit more appealing, but it was a good hit on Christmas Eve and I am sure Jesus would have loved some on his birthday!

It's all your fault: I'm drooling here on my keyboard:c

Not much left there!

Must have been a big hit with your family! :C

Vintage, I posted a vinegar pie recipe LINK. It doesn't have milk in it. If you make a lot of pies or use a lot of pie crust, it's easy to make your own in a batch and freeze them. The pies will taste better than refrigerated pre-made crusts from the store.

Yes I saw that recipe. Looks like fun. I also posted our pie crust recipe that my mom always used.

Thanks!

I grew up on my mother's authentic buttermilk pie. Make sure you leave out the nutmeg. That's not original to the pie.
