Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie (Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Grain-Free, Paleo Friendly)

Alright, I know we are on Thanksgiving Eve and your menu is probably set…but, if you’re anything like me, especially if you are prepared to do any sort of grain-free dairy-free type baking today; you probably have everything you need to make this pie on hand!

Last week, I asked my Facebook followers what pie they missed most since going gluten/grain/dairy free. 

Of all the pies I didn’t already have an updated recipe for, Buttermilk Pie was high on the list. 

So, we played. My kids ate…and then they fell in love.

While this has never been on our Thanksgiving Menu before, I can already tell that this new recipe will become a staple in years to come. The sweet filling is balanced beautifully with the delicate grain-free crust, the nutmeg adds just a hint of flavor and is almost umami in nature when mixed in the warm, soft buttermilk custard. I love that it creates its own flaky top. Truly, this is a pie worth your desire! 

I pray this recipe finds you in time, that your home is warm, filled with friends and family who give you many reasons to rejoice this holiday season!
