Buttermilk pie is a staple on Amish farms and kitchens and for good reason. The ingredients for this easy buttermilk pie are readily available and, most important, it makes a darn good pie. Man, right now, just thinking about a cool, custard, buttermilk pie topped with whipped cream...wow, it's enough to make me want to make one now. And if I were to make one now I'd make this Best Buttermilk Pie.
Buttermilk, on Amish farms, is a great way to use up past-its-prime milk. So if you are visiting an Amish home, expect to find buttermilk in almost all baked goods. All classics. I love buttermilk cookies, but the pie is amazing also.
This pie was made by my long-time friend and friend of Amish365, Carmon Hacker. She's an amazing prize-winning baker and cook and I'm thrilled to be able to share this with you today.
Carmon's husband is now a convert, declaring this his new favorite pie and Carmon says it is "simple and delicious."
Sliced strawberries are a spring staple on Amish farms and they really do pair well with this pie. What I like about this recipe too is how economical it is. With soaring high food prices, this Best Buttermilk Pie is one you can make on a budget!
You can use any crust recipe with this, but my favorite - and the easiest - is this Amish crust that you make in the pie pan, no rolling and it is super good. This is my go-to crust recipe.
