I was born and raised in Alabama. I am by no means a country girl though. I have lived outside of the South for years at a time. But even I know what buttermilk pie is. I have eaten it many times and even baked it on occasion. I have many memories of eating my mother's buttermilk pies growing up. I bought some buttermilk yesterday in hopes of baking a pie today. At work today I polled my friends and co-workers and only one of them had ever eaten buttermilk pie before. Only one other had even heard of it. I was appalled. And they call themselves Alabamians!! My children enjoy making buttermilk pie and eating it whenever they get a chance. Here is my mother's recipe if anyone would like to try buttermilk pie. I have also included a link to an explanation and a little history on this misunderstood desert. Enjoy!!!!
3 eggs
1 1/2 cup sugar
1/4 stick melted butter
1/4 stick melted butter
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup buttermilk
Mix all in order given (do not use electric mixer). Pour into unbaked 9 inch pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Then, bake at 250 degrees for at least an hour or until set. Let cool before slicing. Yummy!
"... this misunderstood dessert." Lol! Ok, you've made me feel sympathy for the poor thing so now I will have to try it!
