Old-Time Buttermilk Pie

SUBMITTED BY: Kate Mathews PHOTO BY: Tricia Jaeger

"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!"
