Amish Buttermilk Pie
Jun 14, 2025 02:43 AM
This smooth, custard Amish Buttermilk Pie is uniquely sweet and tangy with a fresh flavor. This 100 year old buttermilk pie recipe takes just 6 ingredients and 5 minutes for the custard filling. It’s similar in flavor and texture to the southerners’ favorite chess pie. The only difference is there is no cornmeal in buttermilk pies.
I love finding old-fashioned recipes and making Amish recipes from old cookbooks. If you’ve ever used one of these cookbooks, you’ll find that a lot of times the recipes are very vague.
I tested this recipe 4 times to get it perfect for you. It is almost 100 years old and comes from my favorite Mennonite Community Cookbook.
I normally think of pie as stuffed mile-high full of fruit, so finding this buttermilk pie filling that takes just 5 minutes to mix up? You bet I had to try it.
