    Okay I seldom leave reviews but after using this recipe for the past four years without any complaints you must hear from me that this is the best recipe ever for Buttermilk pie! I had a conundrum this evening when baking it for my team at work in that I had no fresh lemons in the house (gasp! Huff & puff!) I decided to substitute fresh orange juice and rind added in and lord have mercy this not only smells delicious but the filling even before baking tasted out of this world! **I have been tasting my batters for 40 years and have not yet died from raw eggs so please do not condemn me on this page, keep it to yourself cuz I can hear it from my moms own lips in heaven and let me tell you that is enuf to scare the devil out your soul but I keep on doing it!**

      I bet it was delicious with orange as a substitute! And no judgement from me, I’ve been eating raw eggs in cookie dough and batter since I was a kid. My dad used to toss raw eggs in our morning smoothies. We lived on the edge. haha

    Will this work with low-fat buttermilk?

      Yes, low-fat buttermilk is all I’ve ever used. It’s all that is available at my local grocery stores. 🙂

    I sprinkle the top with Nutmeg before baking to give it a holiday zip of flavor.

      I am still trying to find a perfect butter pie crust. I do have an oil pie crust recipe: https://www.creationsbykara.com/oil-pie-crust/. My favorite shortening crust calls for vinegar and egg, and I need to post it. It’s on my list for next year!

    BTW, omit the lemon juice if making chocolate or any other flavor.

    I made this for the first time because I had leftover buttermilk from making mashed potatoes at Thanksgiving. Now I buy buttermilk just to make this this “go to” recipe for pie. I usually add a third cup of cocoa powder for chocolate buttermilk pie. So good!! I’ve made it in a graham cracker crust and topped it with mini marshmallows and toast it under the broiler for S’mores pie. I’ve added peppermint extract to make chocolate mint pie. I’ve also tried coconut extract, maple extract. The flavors are unlimited with this perfect recipe. Thanks!!

    I baked mine a little longer too to get that crunchy layer on top and it was fantastic!
