Peanut Butter Buttermilk Pie

Peanut Butter Buttermilk Pie

Mama's Buttermilk Pie

Mama's Buttermilk Pie

“This is my mom's recipe. I have been eating this awesome pie for years. It is easy to make and best served cold. I like to make it the night before and put it in the fridge to chill. My Great Granny used to make pies out of her home after she retired from the restaurant business. She never wrote any recipes down, so my mom came up with this recipe and says that it is the closest to my Granny's buttermilk pie.” - Leah
Lemony Buttermilk Blackberry Cobbler

Lemony Buttermilk Blackberry Cobbler

“Made it in the cast iron skillet ~ absolutely delicious!! Tonight I’m going to try blueberries instead of blackberries!” - Laurie
Lemon Buttermilk Sheet Cake

Lemon Buttermilk Sheet Cake

“My oh my!! This was awesome! I doubled the recipe for a 18x12 half sheet size only I eliminated 1/2 C sugar and it tasted perfect--not to tart, not too sweet. Squeezing and zesting fresh lemons makes a difference. I would emphasize to sprinkle the sugar/zest mix immediately on top of the glaze. I delayed and the glaze hardened before the sugary bits could take hold. It was still delicious!” - Autumn
Texas Buttermilk Pie

Texas Buttermilk Pie

“I had some leftover buttermilk and went searching to see if Buttermilk Pie was a thing. Wow! Is it! Lots of recipes, but this is the one I chose to make since I love Texas. So glad I did! This recipe is now one of my favorite pies and a real keeper. Also pretty easy as pies go.” - Nancy
Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pie

Sweet Potato Buttermilk Pie

“This is a heavenly sweet potato buttermilk pie. It has just the perfect amount of spices and the buttermilk gives the pie a buttery, tangy richness. Serve with freshly whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon. This pie has a sweet and creamy ending to any meal.” - Kitchen Crew
Buttermilk Pecan Pie

Buttermilk Pecan Pie

“WOW, this is one of the best pies I’ve ever had. It's for sure the best pie I've ever made. It was so easy. My family and friends thank you! Ok, just for the record again, this is the BEST PIE EVA!!!” - Sherri
Buttermilk Cake Doughnuts

Buttermilk Cake Doughnuts

“These are exactly what you'd expect from a cake doughnut - delicious! The cake is dense with a hint of spice. They're tasty alone, but add the toppings and they're even better. The glaze makes 'em a bit sweeter, the cinnamon sugar adds a hint of spice and chocolate just makes everything better.” - Kitchen Crew
Lime Coconut Buttermilk Pie

Lime Coconut Buttermilk Pie

“I love this fresh lime twist on a traditional buttermilk pie. It's tangy, tart and sweet all in one. I enjoyed it chilled in the fridge but it was delicious at room temp too. What a great summertime pie!” - Kitchen Crew
Deep Dish Buttermilk Chess Pie

Deep Dish Buttermilk Chess Pie

“I love this recipe and make it weekly. It is easy to vary the flavorings. Some of the flavorings I use are: 1/4 cup fresh lemon or lime juice along with 3 Tbsp lemon or lime zest; lime along with toasted coconut; split the sugar using brown sugar for half of what is called for or experiment with different extracts. Today I will paint the crust with Nutella and use Hazelnut extract. Of course the original recipe is awesome too and very satisfying.” - Carol
Black Forest Buttermilk Cake

Black Forest Buttermilk Cake

“I love the addition of buttermilk and cream cheese that makes this a delicious moist cake with the beauty of the cherries peaking through the deep rich chocolate middle. Yumm...making this again tonight.” - Kim
