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....
