Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but it will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh lemons.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is fresh. Buttermilk that is too old will have a sour taste that will overpower the other flavors in the pie.
  • Don't overmix the pie filling. Overmixing will make the filling tough.
  • Bake the pie until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. The filling should not be jiggly in the center.
  • Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

This old-fashioned lemon buttermilk pie is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of tart lemons and creamy buttermilk makes for a pie that is both flavorful and light. With its easy-to-follow instructions and simple ingredients, this pie is sure to become a favorite in your home.
