Hi friends! It’s so good to be back here today sharing a delicious dessert with you. My name is Deanna, and I write over at Gloriously Made for those of you that don’t know me. I am one of Wanda Ann’s monthly contributors. I always love coming over each month to share one of my recipes with all of you.
How has everyone’s summer started so far? Ours is good, and we haven’t had a dull moment yet. I have two very active little boys, ages 6 & 4. They are a lot of fun! We have been busy will play dates at the pool, trips to sea world, and lazy afternoons at home. It’s been great so far. I love summers!
Buttermilk Pies are one of our family’s favorite treats in the summer. This Southern Buttermilk Pie has a little bit of lemon zest and lemon juice to make it all that more perfect as a summer treat! It’s delicious served with homemade whipped cream (if you don’t have your recipe, you will have to try mine! So easy and so good!) and fresh berries. It’s a straightforward pie to make and is even easier when you purchase an already made pie crust, which I did for this pie. I love Pillsbury already made crust. So good! If you are looking for an easy pie crust recipe to push yourself, you can try my mother’s recipe by going here. I always use her recipe when I have a little bit more time on my hands.

Should that be 1/2 cup of melted butter, not buttermilk??????
Kris, I was reading the recipe and I would think the same thing. 1/2 cup melted butter.
Oh my goodness! Amazing article dude! Thank you, However I am going through difficulties with your RSS. I don’t understand why I cannot subscribe to it. Is there anybody else getting the same RSS problems? Anyone who knows the solution will you kindly respond? Thanx!!
Is the 1/2 cup of Buttermilk, melted supposed to be Butter?
It says in #3 to combine your eggs with the buttermilk butter lemon zest and lemon juice.
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Looks so yummy!
I assumed the 1/2 cup of melted buttermilk was a typo and I used 1/2 cup melted butter. The pie is delicious, but very soggy. The center just wouldn’t set and had quite a bit of liquid floating in it. It tasted like pure butter so I sopped it up with paper towel and let it cool. Again, the taste is amazing, but the consistency is off and the crust on the bottom is soggy. Any suggestions?
