Buttermilk pie is one of the simplest and most delicious Thanksgiving pie recipes. Made with a flawless parbaked pie crust, then a simple filling of butter, eggs, sugar, flour, and buttermilk whisked together in one bowl. "Easy as pie," as the adage goes.
I adore the simplicity of this pie; it doesn't require much preparation or decorating, but the color and flavor screams fall comfort and brightness.
