Best Southern Buttermilk Pie (Page 2 ) | June 18, 2025

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar and flour. Set aside.

3. Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, then stir in the buttermilk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.

4. Blend filling: Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring just until smooth (do not overmix).

5. Fill pie crust: Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust.

6. Protect the crust: Loosely cover the edges of the crust with foil to prevent over-browning.

7. Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes (45 minutes total), or until the center is almost set (it should jiggle slightly but not be liquid).

8. Cool: Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before slicing to allow it to set properly.

9. Serve: Garnish with whipped cream and fresh berries if desired.

Tips for Success

• Avoid overbaking—the pie will continue to set as it cools.

• For a smoother texture, strain the filling before pouring it into the crust.

• If the crust browns too quickly, keep the foil on for an extra 5–10 minutes.

Enjoy this creamy, tangy, and perfectly sweet Southern classic! 🍋🥧
