OLD-TIME BUTTERMILK PIE

Old-Time Buttermilk Pie image

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! -Kate Mathews, Shreveport, Louisiana
