Ingredients
Instructions
- Add melted butter to beaten eggs.
- Combine dry ingredients (flour, sugar, salt) and add to the mixture.
- Add buttermilk and vanilla, then mix well.
- Pour the batter into unbaked pie shells.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 45 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter and adjusting the sugar according to your taste. If you don't have buttermilk, you can substitute it with a mix of milk and vinegar or yogurt. Ensure the eggs are at room temperature to help the batter combine smoothly. This pie can be easily customized with add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts for added texture.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Bubba's Buttermilk Pie chilled or at room temperature, optionally topped with whipped cream or fresh fruit like berries for a pop of flavor. It pairs beautifully with Deluxe Peach Ice Cream for a delightful dessert experience. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside light salads or savory dishes like Lo-Cal Tuna Crispies.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover buttermilk pie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, place slices in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through. For a quick option, you can also microwave individual slices for about 30 seconds, but be careful not to overheat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust for this recipe?
Absolutely! Using a store-bought pie crust can save you time and effort. Just ensure to follow the package instructions for pre-baking if needed, and then proceed with filling it with the buttermilk mixture.
What can I do if my buttermilk pie is too sweet?
If you find the pie too sweet, you can balance the flavors by serving it with a dollop of unsweetened whipped cream or a tangy fruit compote. Adjusting the sugar next time can also help achieve your preferred sweetness.
How can I tell when the buttermilk pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set, and the center has a slight jiggle but is not liquid. You can also insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
