I haven’t made buttermilk pie in for.e.ver. (<–read that like Sandlot) It seems like I end up with leftover buttermilk often. It’s just a super useful ingredient, so I buy it. Then I don’t use all of it, so I find things to make with buttermilk for fun. I actually really love buttermilk pie, it’s a custard type pie. And this time I tried sweetening it with honey.
Buttermilk Pie, makes one.
3 eggs
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup honey (I used this kind, it’s amazing!)
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whisk the eggs with the sugar and honey. Now stir in the other ingredients and pour into your favorite pie crust (mine’s store bought—hence the “halfway homemade”). Bake at 350°F for 40-45 minutes until the sides are golden brown and the pie is set (it will still have a slight jiggle in the center). Allow to fully cool before serving.
This pie is perfect topped with fresh whipped cream or you can add fresh fruit. Happy pie making! xo. Emma

You can make buttermilk substitute too! 1 T lemon juice per cup of milk! It comes in handy.
Sounds amazing!
i was literally JUST scratching my own head too wondering what to do with my leftover buttermilk! it seems like recipes always call for such a small amount so i’m always left with half a carton in the back the fridge. this looks so delicious as well, will have to give it a try!
That looks amazing! I’ve never tried it, but it’s on my to-bake list now. Side note- have you ever tried powdered buttermilk for your recipes? Works great, especially good for baking!
Holy cow, this looks amazing!!

ruthie- No, I never have. I will have to try that!
OOh this looks great. And you’re right, you NEVER use an entire container of buttermilk, it always ends up going bad before I use it up.
YUM!!! Never had this before so look forward to trying this recipe! 🙂

Honey. One of my favorite ingredients for food as well as scrubs, body lotions and lip balms. So I definitely have to try this!
I can’t believe so many people have not heard of buttermilk pie!! It’s probably my favorite pie. Not terribly sweet and quite comforting. I’ll have to try this.
Oh this looks delicious!

That sounds as they most amazing, delicious thing ever! Definitely going to give that one a go.

I’d like to try making this. Have you ever substituted the honey with maple syrup?
Hi Emma,
Enjoying your more frequent posts here on ABM!
I like to use refrigerated dough (the rolled-up kind from pilsbury or generic)- I think it tastes so much better than pre-baked crust.
I am using your chocolate mold idea for valentine’s day. I am making DIY chocolate bowls from tupperware and saran wrap (couldn’t find the mold anywhere) and filling it up with a bit of brownie, topped with berries cooked in water and sugar. I think the boyfriend will enjoy it, thank you for the ideas.
PS I stopped by Red Velvet once on my way back from STL around Thanksgiving + met you. Congrats on your engagement! This is the only blog I read daily – thanks girls for a great blog.
mmmm, looks delicious 🙂
yesssss!!! my husby’s favorite pie is buttermilk but his mom won’t share her recipe! now i have one to try! thanks!

I just tried this pie, and i have to say, it is absolutely amazing! such a strong taste of honey!
for those of you who don’t like things super sweet, i would definitely recommend reducing the amount of sugar used.
thanks for the recipe!
Love the Sandlot reference!
I wish I had read this post a week ago when I was trying find a way to use my buttermilk before it went bad. I will have to bookmark this for next time.

Thanks gals! Love the honey! Just picked up some buttermilk I’ll have a go! ;0)
i don’t think i’ve ever had buttermilk pie, it looks delicious!
xo, cheyenne
I’ve been wanting to make buttermilk pie forever! It’s a typical Southern thing I heard…so I feel like I need to since I’m in love with anything Southern/country
i’ve been searching for a pie to bake for february and love the idea of this one, thanks emma!
for.e.ver.
HAHAHAHAHA!!
I made it last night – it was easy and fun to make and it was delicious for a lighter sweet breakfast. I decided to leave it in for the full 45 mins and I think I baked it a little bit much, so anyone making this I do recommend the 40 minute mark. Love your recipes!:)
Just made this with a graham cracker crust and fresh blueberries. Ah-mazing!
I just started using buttermilk, after seeing this receipe:
http://www.alexandracooks.com/2012/01/26/indrivanilla-beans-buttermilk-panna-cotta/
as well as Amy Pennington’s chocolate buttermilk cake from her Urban Pantry book (which I strongly recommend!)
http://www.amazon.ca/Urban-Pantry-Recipes-Sustainable-Seasonal/dp/1594853460
I’ll try this pie with my leftover buttermilk asap! thank you for sharing!
I made this on Thursday for my husband’s birthday (which also happens to be Valentine’s Day) in lieu of a traditional birthday cake. It was AWESOME! Since it was for a special occasion, I went ahead and did a homemade pie crust, too, which didn’t add much time or energy to the recipe. Thanks so much for posting this – it’s going to be in the regular dessert rotation at our place from now on.
Your guys’ food posts are SERIOUSLY the best. I love looking at them 🙂 Definitely wanna try this out!
