There’s something undeniably comforting about a dessert that’s stood the test of time—and Southern Buttermilk Pie is exactly that. With its simple ingredients, silky texture, and perfect balance of tangy and sweet, this humble pie is a classic that deserves a place on every table.
Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner, potluck, or just want a slice of nostalgic Southern charm, this pie brings all the warmth and flavor of generations past.
🌾 What Is Buttermilk Pie?
Buttermilk pie is a traditional Southern custard pie made with—you guessed it—buttermilk! Unlike chess pie, which often includes cornmeal, buttermilk pie is known for its creamy, velvety filling and a flavor that’s sweet with just a touch of tang.
It’s the kind of dessert that feels fancy but is made with pantry staples, making it perfect for last-minute gatherings or cozy evenings at home.
đź›’ Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need for this timeless favorite:
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional, for a little brightness)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
👩‍🍳 How to Make Southern Buttermilk Pie
1. Preheat oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare the filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and flour. Add melted butter and mix until combined. Whisk in the eggs, one at a time, followed by buttermilk, lemon juice (if using), and vanilla. Stir until the filling is smooth.
3. Assemble the pie
Pour the filling into the unbaked pie crust. Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any overflow).
4. Bake
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. The center should have a slight jiggle but not be liquid.
5. Cool and serve
Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack. Chill in the fridge for at least an hour for cleaner slices. Serve plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar, fresh berries, or a dollop of whipped cream.
