BUTTERMILK This pie contains buttermilk, of course, but you may also make it without it. We combine milk (1 cup) with vinegar or lemon juice to create a buttermilk replacement (1 tablespoon).

You can also combine sour cream or plain yogurt with water or milk to achieve the consistency of buttermilk.

PIE CRUST Use a pre-made crust for convenience and speed, or if you have time, prepare this flaky homemade pie crust. In less than 10 minutes, the pie crust from the grocery store will be prepared for the oven.

FLAVOR Vanilla, lemon juice (fresh squeezed is ideal), and nutmeg are required ingredients in this recipe.

How to Keep

Buttermilk pie should be kept in the fridge; it tastes best cold, but it can also be warmed up slightly before serving.

Frozen pie is an option. Slice the pie into double-wrapped portions and freeze them, or freeze the whole pie. Serve with whipped cream or an easy caramel sauce when warm or cooled after defrosting in the fridge overnight.
