FAQs

ad

Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
You can, but the pie might not have the same tangy taste. If you don’t have buttermilk, you can add a splash of vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk and let it sit for a few minutes to sour it.

Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Yes! You can make the pie a day before serving. Just keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy it.

How do I know when the pie is done?
The pie is done when the top is lightly golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If the edges start to brown too much, you can cover them with foil.
