Buttermilk and Vinegar Pies
Do any of you make these vintage pies? I've always wanted to try them. Recently, I sampled a buttermilk pie at a family reunion potluck but it was heavy and rather tasteless. Maybe I'll just stick with yummy chess pie. ;-)

I have not as basically custard pies are not my favourites unless they have raisins or pecans. I have made sweet potato pie which is just like pumpkin. I have also used Stanley plums to make a fruit pie. All the flavour of cherry pie and a heck of a lot easier to pit and fill a pie shell.

I was reading a book called Fair and Tender Ladies by Lee Smith and they mentioned vinegar pie. I'd never heard of it.
Lee Smith is a great southern writer and I loved that book but I still don't know anything about vinegar pie
My Mom makes custard pie and it's so good..........

I have never made a vinegar pie, but make buttermilk pie often. We love it. I found the recipe in an Amish cookbook. 1 -9" unbaked pie shell. 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 1/2 cups sugar,3 tbsp flour, 3 eggs, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp vanilla, pinch of salt, grated nutmeg.
Preheat oven to 350. Place softened butter and sugar in mixer and cream well. Add flour eggs, buttermilk, lemon, vanilla and salt. Mix well. Pour into pie shell and top with a little bit of grated nutmeg. Bake for 1 hour until top it lightly browned.
