Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie

This old-fashioned buttermilk pie is a creamy, delicious treat with a buttery crust and a rich filling of eggs and buttermilk, ideal for any occasion.

  • Total Time: 3 hours 25 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • whipped cream
  • fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries)
  • fresh mint
  • 1 ¼ cups (150 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold salted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • ¼ cup ice water, plus more as needed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust as follows: in a large bowl, combine the flour and cold, cubed butter, tossing to coat. Work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles peas.
  3. Create a well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the ice water and gently mix until the dough just comes together. Add more water if necessary.
  4. Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  5. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle, then transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Tuck the edges under and crimp as desired. Refrigerate the pie shell while preparing the filling.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, flour, melted butter, buttermilk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  7. Pour the buttermilk filling into the prepared pie crust.
  8. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until the filling is set and the top is lightly browned. Allow to cool before serving.

Notes

Serve with a dollop of whipped cream for extra flair.
Fresh berries can be added on top for garnish and flavor.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
