Buttermilk Pie Recipe
This Buttermilk Pie recipe uses buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla for a classic custard-style pie filling. You’ll whisk the simple ingredients, pour into a pie shell (or tart pan), and bake until lightly set. In the how-to steps, I’ve added a couple of practical tips so the filling stays smooth and slices cleanly.

Step-by-Step Method
Preheat and prep
Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a prepared pie shell, fit it into the pan and tidy the edges.
Mix the dry ingredients
Whisk together sugar, flour, and salt until evenly combined and lump-free.
Add eggs and butter
Beat in the eggs until smooth. Slowly stream in the melted butter while whisking so it blends in evenly.
Stir in vanilla and buttermilk
Mix in the vanilla. Pour in the buttermilk and stir just until combined; don’t overmix.
Pour into the crust
The filling will be thin—totally normal. Pour it gently into the pie shell (or a greased tart pan).
Bake
Bake for about 60 minutes, until the top is lightly golden and the center is set with a slight jiggle (not liquid).
Cool before slicing
Let the pie cool at room temperature for at least 1 hour so it firms up. Slice and serve.
