I shall rejoice in the Lord today though this life is full of woe. I shall sing of His goodness though the dark is my fierce foe. I shall lift my face toward heaven for my Savior sits enthroned. And I shall think on how the feast draws nigh & bake, yes, Saints,
a buttermilk pie.

Prepared and about to put it in the oven. That’s a little bit of nutmeg sprinkled on top. I most often leave it entirely off but today I sprinkled the least little bit. I don’t like the nutmeg to bully the butter, vanilla and buttermilk into the background.

Ok y’all, so the pie still has about 25 minutes to go but the crust is as dark as I want it to get. So a little trick is to take a piece of aluminum foil, fold it and cut a half-circle out of it then open it and lay what’s left over the pie.

To quote the sublimest of all movie lines, “That’ll do, Pig.”

Annoyingly, my grandmother & mother didn’t record the recipe so several of my siblings & I have tried every single one we could find. This is the one that tastes the closest in my opinion. When you compare recipes, go with the one with the most buttermilk. thecoersfamily.com/buttermilk-pie…

1 more thing! When you go to make a homemade crust, a must with a pie of this caliber, be sure not to dismiss the instructions about chilling the butter & shortening. I always use a recipe that calls for both. I chill the butter to chop it up then put it in the freezer for a few.
