My mouth waters just THINKING of buttermilk pie...

I grew up on this stuff - LOVE it. My mom's recipe is a little different (more buttermilk):

For 1 pie-

1 cup sugar
3 tbl. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
3 eggs, divided
2 cups buttermilk
4 tbl. butter
1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

Beat egg yolks with sugar, flour, salt & buttermilk. Beat whites until stiff and fold into mixture. Pour into unbaked pie crust and bake at 375 deg. for 45 min.

Never heard of it. I notice you don't cream butter & sugar "real good" so this one is airy, is it?

not "airy" - very custard-like, but with a little TWANG to it smileys/smile.gif
