I bake buttermilk banana bread. It is always a hit when I bring it to potlucks.

Sounds yummy! Could we talk you into sharing the recipe? :)

I love buttermilk pie. I never tell people what it is called until after they taste it. I have a recipe for prune cake that uses buttermilk. It is really moist and yummy. I never tell people what it is called either until they taste it. My DH took a prune cake hunting a couple of years ago. I told him not to tell them what it is called. He did, no one ate any until the last day when the other sweets were gone. They all loved it and argued over who go to take the leftovers home. They now request it and a buttermilk pie every year.

Here is MY Grandmothers Buttermilk Pie!

By separating the egg yolks/egg whites it tends to make it a bit fluffier..... but many just toss the whole eggs in and they do fine... I like a fluffy pie so I separate them...
Thanks for all the recipes!! I'm gonna try a few....( this will be served to our Veterans..... I finially found another name for it ( I know how some ppl are they wont try it because it sounds terrible!!!!I don't even LIKE buttermilk.. only for baking!!( if u think buttermilk sounds bad I have a Vinegar pie that sounds worse.. but is YUMMY!!))
Being from the South ( Texas) we eat cornbread.. we served cornbread a few weeks ago with chili.. I was shocked at how many ppl here in Minnesota had never heard of cornbread!!! but their plates came back clean! So I figured I'd try a little " Magnolia pie" aka... buttermilk pie... LOL....

* Everyone loved Grandma's Buttermilk pie!! She liked a scoop of vanilla ice cream with hers, but you can also top with cool whip.

Thanks BluTeddi.. looks pretty much like custard pie to me. Just a switch of milk! And probably in days gone by, it was made with the "real" buttermilk and not the commercially made cultured product we get now. As for toppings, of course, I'd just go with the real whipped cream (not cool whip) and I love my custard pie made topped with fresh fruit or a stewed fruit. Or when making individual custards, I put some fruit or maple syrup in the bottom of the dish!

Love your innovative new name ... Magnolia!
And now you have me wanting to know about Vinegar Pie.
My closest would be .... Oatmeal Pie ... and no, I ever tell anyone that name either!

I love to cook and have found this site has many good recipes, especially when I'm bored of the same old meals so I thought I'd share this link with you. http://www.mrfood.com/?task=search&s...ermilk+Recipes, I hope you find something useful here.

You cause some as a marinade it's a great tenderiser

Texas Sheet Cake--wonderful and always eaten!

Since I watched my grandfather drink it as child, I always just crumble cornbread in leftover cornbread and consider it a treat.
