Sweet Tea Buttermilk Pie Combines Two Southern Favorites

This pie combines two southern favorites - sweet tea and buttermilk pie. While I am not a fan of sweet tea, I did absolutely LOVE this pie! Have you ever heard of Buttermilk Pie? Even though I live in the South, I had never eaten Buttermilk Pie until a couple of years ago.

What is Southern Buttermilk Pie?

Buttermilk Pie is a custard-like pie. It is similar to a chess pie but without the cornmeal. The basic filling is buttermilk, sugar, eggs, butter, and flour. It is a very simple pie to make. The filling takes about 5 minutes to whip up. It is also a great way to use up any leftover buttermilk in the fridge. I almost always have buttermilk on hand from making homemade cornbread.

How To Make Sweet Tea Buttermilk Pie

Making this Sweet Tea Buttermilk Pie is a two-part process. First, you are going to infuse the buttermilk with the tea. Heat the buttermilk on the stove until it is steamy and not boiling. Next, add a couple of tea bags and let it steep for an hour. Press on the tea bags to get all the tea out and discard the tea bags. Now you are ready to make the pie.

I used a frozen pie crust. I did not thaw it before adding the buttermilk pie mixture. To make the filling, simply whisk together the tea infused buttermilk, lemon zest, sugar, flour, eggs, and butter. Pour it into the pie crust and bake.

How to Store Buttermilk Pie

Allow the Sweet Tea Buttermilk Pie cool completely and store in the refrigerator. I like to store it in a gallon size ziplock bag. It will keep for 3 or 4 days. You can also freeze the baked pie for a quick dessert later.
