Old-Time Buttermilk Pie

SUBMITTED BY: Kate Mathews

"This recipe is older than I am...and I was born in 1919! My mother and grandmother made this pie with buttermilk and eggs from our farm and set it on the tables at church meetings and social gatherings. I did the same and now our children make it, too!"

I had some buttermilk I needed to use so I decided to give this a try; I didn't make the crust, just simply poured the filling into a glass pan. I only used 1-1/2 cups and sugar and 1/2 of the lemon juice. This was a really good pie, but even with the sugar reduction I still found it way too sweet, so if I make it again I will reduce the sugar even further.
