Southern Peach Buttermilk Pie
My friend, Claire, emailed me last week with this buttermilk pie recipe that she found in the Dallas Morning News. The recipe was written by Jane Jarrell, and it is a masterpiece.
Seriously, this is the best peach buttermilk pie I’ve ever tasted and it would work with blueberries, raspberries – the possibilities are endless.
I cheated and used a couple of Pillsbury prepared pie sheets out of a box so it didn’t even take much time.
Just be sure that your peaches are super ripe since you puree most of the fruit and you don’t want chunks in your puree!
Enjoy!
- 1 pkg. Pillsbury Pie Crust (2 sheets)
- 5 ripe peaches peeled
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1 1/2 cup plus 1/8 cup sugar (divided use)
- 3 tbsp. flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place one pie crust in the bottom of a pie plate. Chop 2 peaches and place them on top of bottom crust.
- Puree the rest of the peaches. Set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar. Add flour, mix well. Add eggs, beat until blended. Add the buttermilk, peach puree and vanilla. Blend well.
- Pour over the peaches in the pie plate. Top with the remaining crust. Recipe calls for a lattice topping and that's what I did. Just slice the top crust in 3/4" strips and weave the strips to create the lattice. Seal the edges.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/8 cup sugar over the top.
- Place on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Bake at 400 degrees for 5 minute only. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees after 5 minutes and cook for an additional 55 minutes.
Strawberry Rhubarb Pie
Here is one of my all time favorites! Nothing says summer to me like strawberry rhubarb pie. I grew up on rhubarb because I spent my grade school years in Minnesota and the stuff grows like a weed up there. When we moved back to Kansas it was still readily available in the grocery stores and farmers markets. My mom no longer grew it in our garden like she did in Minnesota but it was...

Flat Apple Pie
This Flat Apple Pie is from The Pioneer Woman and I cut the quantity since she obviously cooks for a MUCH larger crowd than I do most days. I also added lemon zest because that's the secret to my Mother's apple pie recipe and I threw in some cinnamon too. Then I read the reviews on this recipe on The Food Network Website and noticed that a lot of cooks remarked that there was...

Orange Chess Pie
I saw a recipe in Southern Living for "Tangerine Chess Pie" and turned into Orange Chess Pie simply because I didn't have any tangerine's in the house that afternoon and was too lazy to go the store. And I'm not ashamed to admit that this is how my recipe for Orange Chess Pie came to evolve...faith in Southern Living Magazine and sheer laziness! In all seriousness, I love...
