Old Fashioned Buttermilk Lemon Pie has a very creamy lemon flavor and texture, it’s amazing.
One of the things I love about baking is that you never get bored with it. There’s always something I haven’t made before waiting on my bucket list. Such is the case with Old Fashioned Buttermilk Lemon Pie. I always wondered what it would taste like, buttermilk in a pie? Today was the day I found out how delicious it is. It’s creamy, I loved that. The lemon flavor was perfect, it was like what a lemon sherbet ice cream would taste like. Not an in your face lemon flavor, but a very smooth lemon flavor that’s delightful.
The first thing we have to think about when making this pie is the crust. You can buy a store-bought crust and thaw it according to the package directions to make the recipe. You can also make a homemade butter crust. Wel,l you know me, if I’m taking the time to make a homemade pie there’s going to be a homemade butter crust to put the filling in. If you don’t have a 9 inch all butter pie crust recipe but would like one, you can find the one I use in this recipe card for Dutch Apple Pie. I’ve used it for years, it’s my go-to homemade butter pie crust recipe. After your pie crust is readyto measure out the pie filling ingredients.
