This is real life, I'm 66 years old and this is how I remember life, not that trauma and drama trash today! Your channel & every channel like it from all over the US should be on TV & News Media! In my opinion it would help put back the Human in Humanity......ATB

[@naomitracy5684]

I have shut down all the rest , this is the only surfing and watching I do these days ... I stopped having panic attacks when I quit the news and facebook.... that's the truth👍

[@doncribb5652]

Amen to your statement. Agree 100 %.

[@doncribb5652]

Agree100%.

[@Sweetpea1128]

Excellent! I have done the same. I watch a few thrifters and the Appalachian videos of Donnie’s and Tipper’s. Life is too good to waste on the conflict and anger of the world! 👍🏻❤️

[@kimberleelovett9377]

Ain't that the truth amen sister.

[@thegreatowl4912]

I feel like my Grammaw made a similar pie. But, she called it a custard pie. Also, those little multicolored bowls look like Fiesta Ware. It was made in Newell, West Virginia from 1936 to 1973. And from 1985 to present. It's quite collectable....Not at all relevant to the video, but a little piece to Appalachian history lol. Thank you for all your hard work with these videos!

[@August84118]

I so enjoy your channel, listening to your stories, watching whatever your making in the kitchen, seeing the whole family. In our upside-down world today, it’s such a treasure to have a channel like yours come up on my feed. Don’t change a thing...God bless.

[@RubyTwilite]

What beautiful girls you have! Good for you teaching them your traditions and history. Its so important to remember our families and our stories.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

My grandmother swore by a meal of buttermilk and cornbread, all crumbled up and in a tall glass. She often used a quart Mason jar even though it was only about half full. Sometimes she made it sweet and sometimes she didn’t. She said it was her favorite when she was feeling peckish.

[@clarencegreen3071]

"peckish" . . . I'm as Appalachian as you can get but have never heard that word. We need a definition. I'm a big fan of buttermilk in biscuits, cornbread, and dumplings or over cornbread in a glass. Color me purple but I like the modern cultured buttermilk. I enjoy these videos and the comments. Thanks, Everybody!

[@KENTUCKY-MAMA]

My Mama did the same thing. Buttermilk & cornbread was a meal growing up 4 her large family.

[@dr.froghopper6711]

@@clarencegreen3071 i asked her about that because I’d never heard it from anyone but her until I was Stationed in Wales. She said it’s what her mama always said.

[@elizabethcope1502]

Peckish/ tummy is empty & need to eat is how we use it

[@lisaanderson2900]

People in the UK use peckish. I assume that's where it comes from! That milk and bread in a glass? My mom calls it Milkanbread. MILKanbread. All one word. lol

[@sandip.7968]

Hi Tipper, guess where I'm now headed? To the grocery store to buy buttermilk and then come back home to make this pie! I already have the other ingredients in my kitchen. It's so refreshing when you share precious stories about things in your home or life, such as the colorful ramekins for oatmeal that your mother gave you. Nice memories!

[@debbieflaherty4846]

💁🏻‍♀️ You can make your own buttermilk. (You just add 1T vinegar per 1c milk.)

[@that_thing_I_do]

Tell us how you made out.

[@KatInTheNorth]

That looks wonderful! I love the story about the little dishes. I wish companies would do that again. I can remember my grandmother got drinking glasses, and even dish towels in different packaged products. Thank you for sharing!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Kat-I wish they would too! I remember getting little plastic cups out of oatmeal when I was a kid. Granny probably still has some of them somewhere 😀

When the day gets too heavy and needs some relief I turn to your channel with your family’s simple way of life to bring my day back down to earth with some common sense country living ... Thank you to you and yours .

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

You are so kind 😀 Thank you!

[@norencenelson8111]

My mother made this pie. She was an experimenter in cooking. Once she tried it with a 6oz container of lemon yogurt. It made it all the better. Now that's the only way we make it.

[@cindyb8775]

Tipper your channel is pure delight to me! So glad I found you. I was born and raised and still live within 3 miles of my childhood home in West Virginia. My Grandparents were coal miner's in the Mountainous region of WV. I live near the Ohio River. There is just a kinship I feel with you. Appalachian Mountain Folk are the best. Thanks for all of your effort you put into your channel. It is much appreciated.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Thank you Cindy!!

[@neilschipper3741]

How true, what's it called buttermilk nowadays is nothing like the buttermilk I had growing up. My great-grandmother thought everyone cooking and baking skills. She called this pie shoofly pie, thanks for sharing always enjoy your videos.

[@phil2u48]

I had never heard of buttermilk pie until college when one of my suite mates mentioned missing his grandmother’s cooking. There was no Internet in the ‘60’s, but a trip to the cookbook collection in the Home Economic department’s library produced a couple of versions. I think it is more flavorful than the standard custard pie; we prefer a little ground allspice to nutmeg. Those colorful little dishes are indeed a treasure. Again, your daughters are perfectly lovely.

[@gailsears2913]

I've never had buttermilk pie but I love buttermilk. My dad drank it but nobody else in my immediate family did, then or now.

[@joyphelps968]

I guess I first visited the folk school nearly 50 years ago .... I'll always remember how wonderful it was. Buttermilk pie is delicious!! Thank you for sharing this recipe! (Or as my granny would say "receipt")

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Love it when someone says receipt 😀

[@robertvance01]

I really enjoyed listening to your story about your grandmother. My grandmother was so special to me too. I love your cabinets. My grandmother's cabinets were like yours even down to the handles and this brought back good memories for me. I suspect there are others who feel the same way.

[@JoshuaAdkisson]

Your videos really make feel relaxed, and at home with y'all...

[@mobare6233]

The only thing different in the way that I make it is that I add one tablespoon lemon juice,i love buttermilk.

[@passion777able]

I have to let you know how much I enjoy your channel, for several reasons. I am a 76 year old grammy that has lived alone since 2001 when my husband and I were divorced. I'm a Catholic so, once united by God in marriage UNTIL death takes one of us, we are married. Of course he's furious and says it's all garbage but he'll find out when he dies but I for one, accept it. So I started to live alone, the thought came to me also about the history of the foods I cook and how to pass that on for my grandchildren. I have 2 grandsons now and they might not be bakers but I have written down as many of my recipes as have made over the years with a history of how that item came about and how I changed it over the years. This is why I enjoy your channel so much, you got the same idea and are doing it on youTube. Your stories are wonderful and will be a TREASURE for your children when they stop knowing it all.... around 40!

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

So glad you enjoy our videos! Your grandsons will be so happy you took the time to write those wonderful food memories and recipes down for them 😀

[@alannagilmore8982]

I made 3 yesterday! I love them so much! We always joke about just a sliver! Till the whole pie is gone!

[@pammcnutt6364]

I can remember my momma making buttermilk pie...my dad’s favorite. What memories you have brought up. Thank you!!

[@rbaxley4744]

I love your recipes. I received a buttermilk pie recipe from my sister in law in Texas and it calls for fresh lemon juice and it is also very delicious. Thanks for all the recipes. I grew up in oak hill WVA, dad was a coal miner we were a large family seven girls and two boys. Poor mom canned everything she could get her hands on..we ate a lot of pinto beans and cornbread. I prefer good old country cooking. Thanks so much. Remona,florida.

[@ronwatson4902]

That's a seriously good pie right there. You can also add coconut or cocoa powder to that. I know I'm silly but Ramekin sounds like a small Dodge truck. Thanks Tipper for reminding me of this wonderful pie. I hope yall have a real nice evening.

[@CelebratingAppalachia]

Oh I'll have to try adding cocoa next time. Thanks Ron!! 😀

[@gerardjohnson2106]

Daddy didn't eat much sweeten but he did ask for a piece of buttermilk pie every now and again.

[@schnauzermom7133]

My best friend’s Mom, Ms Grace, always showed up at our back door with a buttermilk pie to comfort us in times of sorrow and to celebrate in times of happiness! This happened as I was growing up and later after I had a family of my own. Love Ms Grace! I will alway remember Ms Grace when I hear of buttermilk pie! She passed a few months ago after years of suffering from Alzheimer’s!

[@marilynpeppers1356]

So, tonight I got the frozen blueberries from the freezer to make my smoothie (that keeps me from eating ice cream) and I’m OUT of unsweetened vanilla almond milk.😩😩😩 And the sweet milk is about gone and I haven’t given the cat her nightly bowl of warm milk so l can’t use the sweet milk. So...I was FORCED to use buttermilk to make the smoothie. It’s the best smoothie ever!!! All’s well that ends well.🌟🌟🌟

[@PhilNY15]

I love your recipes. I used to be a chef but it was not until I was out of the professional kitchen and chaos that I felt real cooking and baking, for me, began. Most every recipe that I use I tweak and alter with the exception of yours (so far just this one) and when I find Amish recipes. Simple, good food. Thank you for sharing! I have not scoured your blog completely yet - by the by, that would be a great name for a pub - but if you have not done lemon recipes (bread, cookies, cake, etc.) please do! Since the heat hit I have been craving lemon.

[@ericmgarrison]

My Mamaw made vinegar pie and buttermilk pie (which one great aunt called nutmeg pie). Loving your vids.

[@johnnabuzby6103]

I've got a recipe for vinegar pie and have made it before. It is very similar in taste to lemon pie.

[@naomitracy5684]

Oh my gosh my best friend and roommate while we was in hair school worked at Marks Feed store in Louisville Ky he got me a job there too and we took turns bringing home buttermilk pie. Marks feed store became famous in the area for their buttermilk pie and it is truly the best pie ever !! Josh and I would split the pie and eat the whole thing . To this day its still a favorite of mine, its so good you don't want to share it ! 😂👍💯❤️

I'm from California and a lot of the recipes from the south I have never had. I have never had a buttermilk pie. I think I need to try this. When my cousin and I went to Tennessee we both had catfish and caramel pie for the first time. Both were wonderful. I have never had a custard pie either. Lol your girls are cute and funny. Love their personalities.

[@julialynch2328]

Mmm my favorite desert buttermilk pie. So good! I can remember Momma getting dish towels in the laundry soap boxes. She also would get jelly jars and juice glasses. Really enjoy your channel. God bless ya'll.

[@earlineahonima4867]

One of my oldest friends is from Tennessee. He introduced me to buttermilk pie. I was an instant convert. Lordy, is it GOOD.

[@TexasBlueBonnet61]

My Granny would make a sweet bread very similar to this, except she didn't split the batter, it baked in a single iron skillet and made a thicker cake. My favorite way to eat it was warm from the oven with butter. And yes, we called those knives "case knives" as well. I enjoy your videos so much; they trigger so many happy memories and help me recreate many of the wonderful foods my Granny used to cook that I didn't think to write down while she was still with us. Keep up the good work; you're helping many of us keep our own family traditions alive by sharing yours with us. God bless you, always in all ways.

[@deepblues108]

Best channel on U2b. Mamaw made this but used corn meal. Wonderful memories!!

Thank you for the interesting video and recipe. At home when I was much younger, one chore that I shared with my sisters was churning cream into butter while watching TV at night. If there was any butter milk left after each of us had part of a glass, Mom would make muffins and bread with it Now I have another recipe to make. Granny is correct, there is nothing like fresh butter milk. Now my mouth is watering..

I use to help my grandma snap beans from the garden. She had pecan trees in the back yard and I use to help her deshell them and she would put them in a big freezer bag and keep them in the freezer for pies and stuff and me and my cousin use to sneak and eat them lol she would say I hear y'all in my nuts get out of there your going to ruin your supper 🤣🤣I sure do miss those days.. have a blessed day ❣️

I know there must be a disagreement in your family occasionally but it doesn’t show, all y’all do so many things together with your music, gardening, cooking and many more. I sin with envy every time I watch one of your videos. With one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel it’s too late for me to start over.

I love buttermilk pie. Another one I came to love while living in Maggie Valley was vinegar pie. Yum!!

[@jhb61249]

For the best buttermilk, buy two one-half cartons of sweet milk. One will be your sweet milk. The other one will be buttermilk. Remove one cup of the carton and exchange it with a cup of fresh buttermilk and tighten lid and shake to fully blended. Place in warm area over night (back porch or stoop). Next morning you have buttermilk. Now refrigerate. Never buy buttermilk again.

[@bsdnfraje]
