Buttermilk Pie

A popular dessert in the South, Buttermilk Pie is a light and fluffy custard pie that gained popularity for its simple ingredients. Now, it’s even easier to whip up a classic Buttermilk Pie with Saco Pantry Cultured Buttermilk Blend in your pantry. Some recipes call for lemon or orange zest, but we like to use vanilla and nutmeg for a sweet, eggnog-like flavor.
