Recipe Tips
1. I use a pre-made crust but you can always make your own pie crust this Homemade Buttery Flaky Pie Crust is fantastic!
2. Make sure you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling for this recipe.
3. If you don't have any buttermilk on hand you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to one cup of milk. Let it sit for a couple of minutes.
4. Whether it's a premade crust or from scratch always bake the crust first.
5. Make sure you allow the pie to be set up in the refrigerator for a couple of hours.

Yes! Let it cool completely to room temperature, wrap with a few layers of plastic wrap then wrap tightly in aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. To defrost, place in refrigerator to defrost overnight.

Love using light brown sugar and Stevia along with the buttermilk in this pie!
It just ensure that the crust is flaky and not soggy, but it's really just a personal preference.
Hello, may I ask you why you cook the crust first?
I’ve always put the filling in the crust and cook it together.
I've never tried using a low-fat buttermilk. When I don't have buttermilk on hand I just make my own works like a charm. 3/4 cup milk and 3/4 tablespoon white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand 5 minutes. Hope this helps Mimi 🙂
Will low-fat buttermilk work for this recipe? It seems to be all I can find. Thx.
