The Best Buttermilk Pecan Pie Recipe
This Buttermilk Pecan Pie is super easy to put together and the different textures are what make this pie recipe extra special. The buttermilk pie layer is similar to Chess Pie with a few slight differences. The pecan layer is a mixture between a streusel and pecan pie. Both layers blend very well together.
Ingredients Needed
Just a handful of staple ingredients is all you need along with the buttermilk.
- Deep-dish pie shell – You can buy premade or make your own homemade pie crust.
- Buttermilk layer – butter, sugar, flour, salt, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla extract and buttermilk.
- Pecan pie layer – light brown sugar, ground cinnamon and pecans.
- Caramel sauce – Use store bought or homemade caramel sauce. This will be used to drizzle on top.
How to Make Buttermilk Pecan Pie
You will prebake the buttermilk pie before adding the pecan layer.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the buttermilk pie ingredients in a large bowl.
- Pour in the buttermilk mixture into a 9″ deep dish prepared pie crust.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
Pecan Streusel Topping
- Mix all the streusel ingredients into a medium bowl and use your fingers to crumble together.
- Sprinkle on top of the pie filling and place back in the oven for an additional 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool.
- Drizzle the caramel on top of the pie (optional).
- Slice and Enjoy!
Storing
Refrigerating your buttermilk pie is not needed for this recipe. However, when you put it into the fridge, it will make the pie last longer. Make sure to store correctly in an airtight container.
Variations
- Crust – make a homemade pie crust or even try a graham cracker crust. We use premade, but if you buy an unbaked pie shell, make sure to bake according to the directions for baking.
