Ingredients for Berry Buttermilk Pie

How to Make Berry Buttermilk Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust: If using store-bought, roll it out and fit into a 9-inch pie plate. If making your own, follow your favorite recipe and bake the crust for 10 minutes before adding the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, sugar, flour, and salt until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in the melted butter until fully incorporated.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is just set (a slight jiggle is okay).
  7. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the strawberry sauce: Combine the strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries soften and release their juices (about 5-7 minutes).
  9. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  10. Once the pie is completely cool, top with the strawberry sauce and serve chilled.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
