Tips & Substitutions
For a smoother custard pie, ensure the eggs are well-beaten before blending with the other ingredients. If you don’t have buttermilk baking mix, you can substitute it with a combination of all-purpose flour and baking powder. Adding a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon can enhance the flavor profile. This custard pie pairs beautifully with Nana'S Coca-Cola Salad for a delightful meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the custard pie warm or chilled, topped with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for added indulgence. Fresh berries or a fruit compote can also complement the custard's sweetness. This dish makes a delightful dessert after a hearty meal like Ground Beef Pot Pie.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for 30-60 seconds or until warmed through. For best results, avoid reheating the entire pie at once, as it may affect the texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
Yes, you can substitute regular milk for buttermilk in this recipe. To mimic buttermilk, add 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to a 1/2 cup of milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes before using.
What should I do if the pie doesn't set?
If the pie doesn't set after baking, it may need more time in the oven. Check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean when the pie is fully baked. If it’s still jiggly, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the custard pie a day in advance. Just bake it, allow it to cool completely, and then refrigerate. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste when served.
