  1. I had buttermilk and walnuts. So I searched what could make and your recipe came up. I did exactly as the recipe stated. Except when taking out the pie after 30 minutes it was still too runny. I baked it another 10 minutes. Then removed it from the oven. Topped it with streusel and baked it another 20 minutes. Let it cool and it was delicious my husband loved it. Thank you!
