Tips & Substitutions
To achieve the best texture, ensure the margarine is fully melted before mixing. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon. This pie can also be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free baking mix instead of Bisquick.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Bisquick Buttermilk Pie warm or at room temperature. It pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. Fresh berries can also make a delightful topping. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a light salad, such as a Bleu Cheese Salad Dressing, for a balanced dessert experience.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply place a slice in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes for a crispier texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular flour instead of Bisquick?
While Bisquick is designed for ease of use in this recipe, you can substitute it with an equivalent amount of all-purpose flour and add 1 teaspoon of baking powder and a pinch of salt to mimic the leavening agents in Bisquick.
Is it possible to make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the buttermilk with a dairy-free alternative like almond milk mixed with a tablespoon of vinegar. Additionally, replace the margarine with a dairy-free butter or coconut oil to keep the recipe entirely dairy-free.
How do I know when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. It should also have a golden color on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
