I make buttermilk pies quite often. My wife, kids, and granddaughter love them. I also sell them at the local farmer's market. It doesn't matter how many I bake, they all sell fast. People around East Texas love them.

[@mishalea]

I'm so glad u made this! A friend from Texas was saying she went to a hometown picnic and they had buttermilk pie, and I had never heard of it before! Where I'm from we eat egg custard pies more. I'll have to try this someday! 😃

[@penniecurrie2424]

Sweetie it's basically the same pie except egg custard is mostly sugar eggs vanilla little sweet milk or no milk

[@mishalea]

@@penniecurrie2424 yes the buttermilk main difference....

[@patc.318]

Hi Tammy! Had just enough buttermilk on hand to make two buttermilk pies which are now almost ready to come out of the oven...the aroma is wonderful! With my crew, it's safe to say, there will be no leftovers! This recipe is just like my grandmother made. Sure brings back memories. Thanks for sharing your recipe and thank you to both you and Chris for another video!! 😊

[@cathymiller5071]

Love your videos ! Makes me feel like I’m back in mom’s kitchen again. Could you do an egg custard pie ? 🙏 tks

[@cathymiller5071]

Called myself checking all of your videos. Guess I missed this one. Thanks so much. Haven’t had an egg custard pie in years. Can’t wait to make this one. 🙏

[@janmoss9008]

I have my grannie's buttermilk pie recipe. Nothing better! I've made it often. Pretty much the same recipe as yours. There is a little lemon in mine.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

That would be good in it!

[@vivians9392]

Yes, I add some lemon juice to mine, also. It gives just a touch of tartness.

[@laurawilliams7146]

Awwww!! So simple!! I am already making a grocery list in my head to do this. Plus the Coconut!! 😄😄. Thank you very much!!

[@maryjemisonMaryjay1936]

I have never tasted Buttermilk Pie 🥧 but looking forward to tasting ❤️

[@katieintexas7741]

This is one of my all time favorites. So delicious!! I love the way you used the very large measuring cup to mix all the ingredients. Your crust is beautiful.

[@moonpie3063]

We buy the best fried pies at the local vegetable/fruit stand (Froberg’s in Alvin, Texas). Buttermilk is the only flavor my grandson will eat. 🥰

[@0216chw]

Do they bake the filling first and put it in the hand pie?

[@marydindot8204]

This is one of my favorite pies but my bottom pie crust doesn’t get brow or golden at all in a glass pie plate. Frustrating!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

You can pre-bake the crust Mary

[@cxoot]

blind bake it

[@Jana-TheCraftyGambler]

I made 2 yesterday. It my husbands favorite pie. He thinks that this is his grandmothers famous recipe. I won’t tell him. Lol

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It probably is the same anyway lol!

[@annette7984]

Yum !I love it !!! It really do remind me of a egg custard and a coconut pie ! Thanks for Tammy! 👍

[@joshuahawley2264]

I made this yesterday and it was wonderful! Buttermilk pie has always been a favorite and your recipe is great! Love the nutmeg in it.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Glad you tried it!

[@evelynfoster2706]

LOL Tammy , my mom told me if you don’t make a counter mess when baking then you didn’t make it right 😂 love you cause we both cook like our momma did ! I swear they had to be sisters or cousins cause my recipes are the exact ones yo use. 🥧🥧🥧👍🏼🥰😘

[@wval4379]

I'm so glad I found this recipe! I used to get buttermilk pie from a little restaurant near where I worked. Everyone at worked loved it. Most people away from work that I mentioned it to had never heard of it. No longer working at the same place, I haven't had buttermilk pie in ages. I kinda forgot about it until I found this video. I'm really looking forward to having buttermilk pie again. Thanks for posting this recipe.

[@glendahawkins3227]

OH! I love your cooking! Good old fashioned Southern home cooking! Have got to order your cookbooks! I feel like you are a friend!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Thanks Glenda!

[@kristaharvey3506]

Grew up with buttermilk pies grew up to my mom baking them ! I highly recommend them. They are delicious!👌💗👌

[@yvonnehouston4893]

Tammy just placed my buttermilk pie in the oven 💕 hope it looks half as good as yours😊

[@pamp5797]

Hay Tammy, that's a beautiful pie. I was wondering what kind of stove you have. I want a gas or propane stove so bad. Good luck on your family cooking competition show.

[@yvonnehouston4893]

Looks so delicious! Plan to make this pie over the weekend! Thanks for sharing!💕

[@stephaniebrogdon4024]

This is one of my favorite pies! I also have made buttermilk pie with peaches in it, which is delicious. Now I've got to try coconut!

I've never had buttermilk pie. Looks delicious. 🥧🙏❤🥰

[@marilynmcclintock2974]

That is a very pretty pie Tammy, I'll bet it tastes really good. Grandma Sue in central Indiana and Izzi Too

[@judycolson6047]

I’ve never tasted a buttermilk pie. I suppose that’s from the deep South. My parents were from Southern Kentucky. My mom loved buttermilk! She would drink it straight from the carton. I couldn’t do that but I do like buttermilk in baked items. I wonder what the difference is in this pie and what’s called a chess pie. They both look the same sort of.

[@cilla3636]

great video i love buttermilk pie have made it for many years !!😉

[@DCMae]

I went to the store to get a pint of buttermilk and all they had was one, half gallon carton. After I purchased it, I was trying to figure out how to use it up before it went bad, because it had been marked down as a clearance item. I remembered my mom making buttermilk pie when I was a child and decided to make one for the first time. It was delicious. I gave some to my nieces and nephew. They never heard of it, and now they love it too. My recipe is similar to this one except I added a little lemon juice.

[@bettym.71]

I was thinking it looks just like a coconut pie. With a coconut pie, you just add your coconut to the filling and pour it into the crust. Mmm..so good! I was wondering why you prefer vanilla flavoring to pure vanilla extract?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It is just what I have now in the pantry.

[@joanl.7543]

Pure extract is either very expensive, or just sort of wimpy. I taste more flavor with imitation vanilla extract (compared with the affordable natural ones). And I'm largely a fan of all-natural. Of course, I'm brining up five kids and several of them will take the extract for use with hot cocoa, etc. so I have to sort of watch it.

[@joanl.7543]

It's my understanding that vanillin, the artificial imitation of vanilla, actually comes chemically closer to the natural product that most artificial flavors do.

[@loopev]

Tammy, I just gotta say THANK YOU SO MUCH for putting the written recipe in the drop down. It REALLY helps that we don't have to go search, Lord knows where, on your site for it. Great Job!!! Stay Blessed.

[@deewinston5651]

This is my husband, Jerry’s favorite pie. I think I’m going to make your Chicken Parmesan tonight girl. Thanks for another good recipe.😋

[@cynthiaWalker5226]

I love those! I think I will make one on my day off! Yum Yum!

[@pamelascott5702]

Is that 3 tablespoons of all purpose or self rising flour?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I used self rising Pamela! Thanks Tammy

[@pamelascott5702]

Collard Valley Cooks Thanks Mrs. Tammy. I am planning on making one for our family reunion in September & probably put the coconut in one of them. Thanks for the idea.

Oh my golly, Wolly! You have the same recipe that I use! Yup! You can't beat the NUTMEG!! Except I can never get whole buttermilk. They only sell low-fat buttermilk at HEB AND Walmart (SA, Tx). I've looked everywhere for whole buttermilk - can never find it : (

Welcome to CVC!

[@loissouthard5619]

I never want to make a buttermilk pie again. About 20 years ago I got ready to sell my home and a neighbor who was an x real estate person said he would sell my house for me at no charge if I would make him a buttermilk pie every day until it was sold. Well we each kept our bargain and I made over 30 buttermilk pies one each day until the house sold. My house sold at a record price and my neighbor ate a LOT of pie.

Wow!

Tammy I have a question to ask you. Do u have an old fashion recipe for a coconut cake ? When I was a little girl my mother would make coconut cake she would use the whole coconut grate it and reserve the milk of it to make her cake. I have asked other KZbin cooks but none of them seem to know how.
