Tips & Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a store-bought pie crust?
Yes, using a store-bought pie crust is a convenient option, and it will save you time. Just make sure to follow the baking instructions on the package for best results. A pre-made crust can still yield a delicious Buttermilk Pie.
What can I use if I don't have buttermilk?
If you don't have buttermilk, you can easily make a substitute by mixing 1/2 cup of milk with 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly, then use it in the recipe as directed.
How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The pie is done when the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly but not liquid. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean. If the edges are browning too quickly, you can cover them with foil during the last few minutes of baking.
