Family Favorite Easy Buttermilk Pie For Best Buttermilk Chess Pie Recipe

Growing up, Holly’s grandmother would make an easy Buttermilk Pie with this brown sugar Streusel Topping Recipe for every special occasion. Besides it being so moist and delicious, it was a family favorite dessert. Now, of course, Holly created this Buttermilk chess pie recipe trim and terrific in Gulf Coast Favorites cookbook.  It still makes its way to the family table often. No one will ever forget the year grandmother forgot to add the sugar to this pie – we all took a bite and knew something was different. My easy southern Buttermilk Pie recipe with brown sugar Streusel Topping recipe is delectably rich and custard-like but definitely not the same without the sugar!

Traditional Southern Buttermilk Pie with Brown Sugar Streusel Topping Recipe

This easy Buttermilk Pie with a brown sugar Streusel Topping recipe is from Gulf Coast Favorites cookbook – a traditional southern dessert staple but did you know it originally came from the United Kingdom?

Though it is often confused with Chess Pie, southern Buttermilk Pie recipe does not contain cornmeal but we often refer to it as a Buttermilk Chess Pie recipe. Enjoyed at room temperature after cooling off from baking but this easy buttermilk pie is also delicious warm or out of the refrigerator.  Like this delicious southern pie, this cookbook contains all your favorite southern recipes and healthy Cajun recipes but easy-to-make and all better for you!

Buttermilk is Key Ingredient in this Delectable Easy Buttermilk Chess Pie Recipe

Set of 6 Measuring Cups and SpoonsSet of 6 Measuring Cups and Spoons

Don’t let not having buttermilk stop you from whipping up this pie. If you don’t have buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice per 1 cup of milk – keeping the ratio’s the same if the recipe calls for more than one cup. I love this space-saving design set of measuring cups and spoons!

The buttermilk gives this pie its tart and creamy, custard-like thickness that is just to-die-for and your loved ones will now request on your dessert table for years to come! Here’s a list of top 5 silicon kitchen products.

    Holly, I’m a southern girl and have tried a few of your recipes. YUM!!!
    I’d like to save some of the recipes from your Facebook page to my Pinterest page. But for some reason,
    It won’t allow me to save the recipes to Pinterest. Any hints on how to do this?
    Prayers for your healing .🙏

      thanks for taking time to write! I would LOVE for you to save to your Pinterest page. That pinterest button under the image doesn’t work sometimes. I have a pinterest button I have at the top I use or I think the pinterest button on the side works. They are working on the issue. I thank you for your prayers and they do help and all your support gives me strength. We southern girls stick together. I am thankful for getting to do what I love even while going through cancer treatment!
