FAQ:
Q: Can I use regular milk instead of buttermilk?
A: Buttermilk is key to the texture and flavor of this pie, but you can substitute with a mixture of regular milk and a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to mimic buttermilk’s acidity.

Q: Can I make the pie in advance?
A: Yes, this pie can be made a day or two ahead. Just store it in the fridge until ready to serve.

Q: Why does this pie not require a top crust?
A: The buttermilk pie filling is a custard that firms up nicely on its own, so it doesn’t require a top crust. The simplicity of the bottom crust allows the creamy filling to shine.
