If you’ve never had buttermilk pie, you may be wondering what does buttermilk pie taste like. Does it taste like buttermilk? Buttermilk is used in many desserts and no that buttermilk taste is not what you’ll notice, in case you’re not a fan.
This classic southern pie is a delicious custard like treat!
I remember the first time that I had this classic Southern dessert. It wasn’t at my grandmother’s house, it was at a café for lunch.
I had to try it and just fell in love with it. You’ll love it too!
