Pie, pie, pie. Where shall I begin?? Making pies is an art that I am still trying to perfect. Pie making is something that requires lots of practice, at least in my case it does..lol.
The pie above is "supposed" to look like the one in this post: Sister Lizzie's Southern Buttermilk Pie.
As a matter of fact, I obtained the recipe for this from the link above. I don't know how many of you have heard about Aunt Ruthie's Sugar Pie Farm House, but I just love that site to death! This recipe came from Aunt Ruthie herself :) And before anyone says anything, yes...this is a "summer" recipe...lol. I wanted to make it though because I had some frozen buttermilk that needed to be used and also some frozen left over pie crust from when I made this recipe, Sour Cream Apple Pie.
Well....note to self...make sure the frozen pie crust is completely defrosted before even attempting to make a pie...lol. Also...note to self...if I ever make this recipe again (which I will because despite how it looks, it really was d-e-l-i-s-h) make sure the butter is completely cooled before making it. And lastly, make sure to turn the oven temp. down a few degrees or else it will end up buring the pie....resulting in the picture above.
All in all, despite the burtness (is that even a word?) and the uncooled butter, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone who loves buttermilk pie. Just remember to also use the original recipe for pie crust that is stated in the post. My pie crust was a little to thin and there wasn't enough of it to cover the pie plate.
Other then that,
have fun baking :)

Libby,
ReplyDeleteNot too worry I'm still perfecting the art of making a pie too. It still looks delicious.

I'm available to taste test any time:) It sounds good....I've never made one but my grandmother used to make one similar all of the time. I would love for you to join me on Crock Pot Wednesday sometime. Come post a favorite slow cooker recipe.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love buttermilk pie!!! I certainly have not mastered the art of baking pie but, I can certainly eat them!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog post!
Pie can be a very tricky thing. I'm glad to hear that it tasted good and I bet the third time would be perfect! I made a buttermilk pie from Tyler's book and it was pretty tasty :D
ReplyDeleteYay for pie baking! i've never tried buttermilk pie but this post has made me super intrigued!
ReplyDeleteDear Friend: I'm intrigued with this recipe. It reminds me of a recipe for lemon chess pie I have hiding in one of my recipes books from Virginia. As an honorary, sometime Southerner now dwelling in North Dakota, I'd like to try this to add to my repertoire of food that makes North Dakotans say "What? Whats THAT?"
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I think your pie looks pretty tasty, Libby! I'm not much of a pie maker myself -- my family has always preferred cookies and brownies and scones. But I would definitely eat a slice of this yumminess.
ReplyDeleteIt was really great to eat as I recall :) Just doesn't look well appearance wise...lol. I do plan on making it again soon.
