Buttermilk pie! Just saying buttermilk pie makes me feel like I live on a farm. Oh, wait, I do! I love living on a farm. But even if you don’t live on a farm, you can feel like you do. Just say, “I’m baking buttermilk pie!” And you’ll totally feel like you’re living in a 100-year-old farmhouse….
This is one of Georgia’s recipes, so you know it’s good.

How to make Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Pie:
1 cup sugar
3 T flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 egg yolks
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
2 T butter, melted
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
one unbaked single-crust Foolproof Pie Crust pie shell
Line greased pie pan with piecrust. Combine sugar, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Add egg yolks, buttermilk, and melted butter. Mix well. In another bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff.
Notice my pretty multi-colored eggs? I don’t have eggs from my chickens yet, so I’ve been buying these fresh eggs from the chicken farm where I got my chickens and ducks.
Beating egg whites takes forever, but anything involving pie is worth it. It’s kinda fascinating how egg whites fluff up and get stiff, isn’t it? How does that happen?
Fold egg whites into buttermilk mixture. Mix carefully and pour into the prepared pie pan. Bake at 375-degrees for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. This pie is a neat cross between a custard pie and a meringue. And it’s just plain yummy! How could it not be? It’s PIE!

The milking looks like it’s going great! You’re really getting the hang of it, before long you’ll be an expert.

I’ve never made cheese, but I was looking at recipes for goat cheese, and most called for starting with a gallon of milk. Do you think you can cut down the recipe and start with a pint? I can’t wait to see the process.

You know, you could use all that milk to make a bar of soap! Excellent for your skin!!!
Is Clover still trying to sit down in the pail?? You might want to ask your dad about hobbling one of her legs. It might change her whole “persective” about standing for you. :mrgreen:

I used a 9 inch pie plate…but I had some of the mixture left over…I guess I should have made a 10 inch pie.
Nevertheless,it is a great pie.

Just happen to find this today, and since I had all the ingredients, made it just now. It turned out beautiful!! Good think I was using my Longaberger pie plates, because it is a deep dish pie plate. Can’t wait to taste it. Yummy!

Can’t wait to try it with the foolproof pie crust. This is the first custard pie I’ve ever made and I’m so proud of how pretty and delicious it is – it’s going to be my new go to dessert for parties/holidays etc. Next on the list will be angel biscuits or grandmother bread. Never made any kind of bread or biscuits from scratch before but your site is so inspiring I’m gonna give it a go =^.^=
