    My wife's Grandpa George used to make this Buttermilk Pie all the time during the Holidays. I had never heard of this pie before and I love to make old family recipes so I just had to try George's Buttermilk Pie.

    My first reaction was what does it taste like? Looking at the recipe I figured it would be a custard kind of pie like my Cinnamon Sugar Cream Pie. Well I was close.

    The filling is just like a custard, not too stiff and not too runny. As far as the flavor goes, it has a bit of a sour taste to it thanks to the buttermilk but not terribly sweet with just a hint of nutmeg.

    For the pie crust, I used the deep dish variety. When I poured the buttermilk mixture into the prepared pie shell it filled it to the top. You need to be mindful of that when shopping for a pie crust.

    🥛 Buttermilk Substitution

    If you don't have Buttermilk on hand, you can use this trick as a substitute: Add one tablespoon of lemon juice to a measuring cup. Add milk and fill to the 1 cup measurement line. Stir the mixture together and let sit for 5 minutes.

    If you love making homemade pies, make sure you check out my delicious selection of Pies & Tarts Recipes. My Mom's Raisin Pie recipe is one of the most popular pie recipes on our site!

    You can either eat it plain as I do or with a dollop of whipped cream or even with a berry topping like blueberries or strawberries. Apparently making this buttermilk pie with pecans is another popular version of this old school recipe.
