Amish Buttermilk Pie Recipe

4.4 from 100 reviews

Amish Buttermilk Pie is a classic Southern dessert featuring a rich and creamy filling made from buttermilk, eggs, and sugar, baked in a flaky pie crust to a perfectly set finish with a smooth, custard-like texture and a subtly tangy flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust

Filling

  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional, to enrich filling)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the pie.
  2. Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined. Optionally, add melted butter and vanilla extract to enhance richness and flavor.
  3. Assemble Pie: Pour the prepared filling mixture into the unbaked pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the pie on the middle rack of the oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid.
  5. Cool: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving to let the filling firm up fully.

Notes

  • Use a glass or metal pie dish for best results.
  • Allow the pie to cool thoroughly to achieve the perfect custard consistency.
  • You can dust the cooled pie with powdered sugar or serve with whipped cream for added indulgence.
  • Buttermilk adds a subtle tang and tender texture to the filling.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
