Buttermilk In A Pinch Recipes

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Cut lard into flour using a pastry blender or two forks, and add the pinch of sugar. Add enough buttermilk to make a soft dough and knead until smooth (do not over knead as this will lend a tough biscuit).
• 2. With floured hands pinch off a bit of the dough and roll into a ball, lightly flatten in a greased iron skillet or pan. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15-18 minutes. Brush with melted butter when removed from the oven.

BUTTERMILK PIE

SOUTHERN BUTTERMILK PIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Set the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
• For the pie crust: Lightly flour a work surface and roll the dough out into a round (12-inch diameter). Then, line an ungreased 9-inch pie pan with the dough and trim off the excess crust. Crimp the edges! If you prefer your pie to have a crisp bottom, place a sheet of parchment paper on top and add some dried beans or pie weights onto the bottom. Bake until the crust starts to set, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let it fully cool before filling. But if you don't mind yours having a soft bottom, skip the pre-baking pie shell step.
• Prepare the buttermilk filling: In a large bowl, cream the butter and whisk in the sugar with a hand mixer. Then add eggs, preferably one at a time, while whisking until combined. Add the flour and salt and whisk until combined. Next combine buttermilk, vanilla, nutmeg, lemon juice, and lemon zest, and whisk until homogeneous.
• Bake the pie: Pour the buttermilk mixture into the unbaked pie crust and bake for 55-70 minutes, or until set on top and slightly jiggly (not liquidy) in the middle.
• Let it cool: Transfer the pie plate to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely (about 2 hours). Cover, chill in the fridge, and slice before serving. You can decorate as you prefer. I added some cut-out pie crust leaves on top. Serve it with a cup of coffee, or with a dollop of whipped cream on top and some fresh berries.
