This is exactly what I was looking for. I changed it somewhat to use 6 tart shells I had, and the recipe amount was perfectly fitting. Also, since I don't have white sugar in the house used approx. 1/4 cup brown sugar. A wonderful result...the buttermilk seems to add custard-like texture and a bit of tang without heaviness given by cream.

Instead of sweet potato, I used canned yams in pineapple orange sauce (drained), so the pie had a slight citrus flavor. Both the flavor and the texture were terrific! Next time, I'll try the recipe with plain sweet potatoes to see which I like best. The cooking time was right on the nose.

This recipe is exceptional! I tripled the recipe for a luncheon at work and everyone loved the results. My modifications to the recipe: I used almond extract in place of the vanilla, 1/4 tsp. nutmeg, mixed 1/2 brown and 1/2 white sugar, & 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice. I will make this recipe again and again. THANKS for sharing.

This was a wonderful pie. I followed the directions exactly. I especially like sweet Potato pie without all the spices in it, and this one was perfect.

I made this without any spice and found it to be quite tasty. Will experiment with some spice next time.

This pie is fantastic. I made no exceptions to the recipe - using real butter and real buttermilk. I did, however add 1 tsp. of pumpkin pie seasoning. My husband, brother in law, and father in law all three loved it, and they were raised down south on grandma's recipe - very hard to impress! Everyone else raved too, and I ended up having to make more! It was not just my first sucessful sweet potato pie, it was the first time to impress my father in law! Thanks for this flawless recipe!

THE FILING OF THE PIE WAS GREAT, I MESSED UP ON THE CRUST WHICH MADE THE OVERALL TASTE TEST NOT SO GREAT.

I found this recipe last night, tried it today at work and everyone loved it. Now I will prepare it for 64 for our Black History Meal at work. It was easy, and the cooking time was accurate. The flavor as written was terrific and I also added nutmeg and cinnamon to one pie and they loved that too.
