BLUEBERRIES ARE IDEAL FOR BUTTERMILK FILLING

We love blueberries.

Fresh, vibrant and bursting with flavor.

You could substitute raspberries or blackberries, but we have a special place in our hearts for blueberries. Maybe they remind of us of the gorgeous Texas bluebonnets that inhabit the state during Spring and Summer months.

If you love blueberries as much as we do, you’ll flip for our Homemade Blueberry Tarts and our Lazy Day Blueberry Cobbler!

The custard filling is so silky and creamy.

You can just imagine the taste of this amazing Blueberry Buttermilk Pie as you gently pour it into the pie dough.

This is the good stuff!

Simply drop the blueberries into the custard before baking. If you can’t find fresh, you can certainly substitute frozen. But…try to,be  find fresh!

As the pie bakes, a few of the blueberries will pop open and release their amazing juice.

Did we mention how much we love blueberries?

BAKE THE PIE UNTIL GOLDEN ON TOP

When you place the pie in the oven, the filling will be, obviously, very liquid in nature.

Let the pie bake for 60 minutes, although since some ovens vary, keep an eye on it. It may take a little less, maybe a little more.

You’re going to love the way your kitchen smells as it bakes!

It should get golden brown on top and the center should set. When you remove it from the oven, it may still “jiggle,” but that’s okay, as it cools, it will completely set.

Once cooked, we like to sprinkle some confectioner’s sugar (aka: powdered sugar).

You’ll want the pie to completely cool before serving. Which is torture…but hang in there…good things come to those who wait.

    Hi! This looks amazing, I can’t wait to try it! I am wondering if you think it matters if the buttermilk is cultured? I know typically buttermilk that you buy in the store is cultured, but I want to try this with butter milk that I have from well, making butter

      Hi Crysta! Sorry for the delayed reply! Your cultured buttermilk should work wonderfully! Let us know if you make the pie and how it turns out! Be sure to bake it until the sides are set but the inside is a bit jiggly. Best, Kris & Wesley

    Hi,
    I am excited to try this recipe!
    Does the baked pie need to be refrigerated before serving if made the same day and if there are leftovers, should the rest of the pie be stored in the refrigerator?
    Thank you!

      Hi Michelle! If you are serving the pie the same day that you bake it, no need to refrigerate it (but, give it plenty of time to cool down…say a couple of hours). We would recommend refrigerating leftovers (at least after 24 hours). Let us know if you make the pie and how it turns out. It’s one of our all-time favorites!
