What Ingredients Do I Need for Buttermilk Pie?
You won’t believe how easy this Crustless Buttermilk Pie is! All you need is a few ingredients and you’re set. You will need buttermilk, of course! Other than that all you need is sugar, eggs, melted butter, flour, baking powder, and vanilla.
This homemade buttermilk pie comes out really pretty if you make it in an actual pie plate. A 9-inch pie plate is a perfect size for this recipe, but you can also use a 9 x 9 baking dish. I’ve also made it in a 9.5-inch pie plate and it comes out perfect, just a tad shorter.
The Perfect Quick Dessert
This southern-style Buttermilk Pie is perfect for when you need a last-minute dessert. If you have a sweet tooth or if you want to treat your family to a quick dessert, this pie is the answer. It’s definitely kid-friendly!
If I make it for guests, I usually wait to make it until the guests are here, so I can pop it in the oven while we chat and eat, and when we’re done we can enjoy a warm and delicious Crustless Buttermilk Pie!
How Do You Make Buttermilk Pie?
All you need to do to make this easy Buttermilk Pie is mix all the ingredients together in a bowl. You can use a hand mixer to mix everything on low speed until you end up with a smooth mixture.
Once it’s smooth, you can pour the mixture into your pie plate or baking dish. I use a glass pie dish or a 9 x 9 glass baking dish. You will then place the baking dish on the middle rack of your pre-heated oven.
You’ll bake the pie for approximately 45 to 50 minutes at 350 degrees. In my oven, 45 minutes is perfect. You’ll want to keep an eye on yours to make sure you get the perfect time for your oven. The pie will have a beautiful golden color on top when it’s ready.

How much butter ?
Hi Kathy! The full recipe with measurements is at the bottom of the page, right above these comments. You can find everything you need there. Thanks for stopping by!
It won’t let me leave 5 stars! Easy. Delicious. Lasted 10 min. We all adored it. Baked it for 45 min, added nutmeg and cut some of the sugar. Put less than a cup.
Absolutely delish!
Hi Renee! So happy to hear you loved the pie! It’s so easy and my family absolutely loves it too! Thanks for sharing your changes! I appreciate you stopping by the blog!
Good but too sweet. Next time I will use less sugar.
Hi Rita! It’s definitely sweet 🙂 Thanks for trying it out!
My phone is acting up 😔 with only 4 stars but I give this pie FIVE stars. It is easy and perfect. My friends love it. When we get together for bridge and it’s my turn for brunch this pie is requested. Thank you so much. Nan Folk
I love this pie, but I always adjust the sugar and it comes out great.
READ MY LIPS!!! By far, this is one of the best , easiest and enjoyable desserts we have ever had. Since, I am a cinnamon lover, I added a little nutmeg and lots of cinnamon (forget about measuring). Also, trying to eliminate white flour from my diet, I used whole wheat flour -sifted- and enjoyed it as much. You have obviously, made a ‘huge hit’ with my family.
Hi Charlene! I am so happy you and your family loved it! I appreciate you stopping by to comment with your additions and results!
Do you grease or use cooking spray on the pie plate ?
Hi Sylvia! I do not. Enjoy!
Can you use unsalted butter if you don’t have salted butter?
Sure! That should work. Enjoy!
How do you reheat? I couldn’t stop reading out of oven, but need to save some for tomorrow. Excellent taste
Hi! Just getting to comments so it’s probably too late, I’m sure the pie is gone! Haha! I reheat in the microwave, individual portions.
I love this pie. All my friends ask for it. After a gathering they all want some to take home 🏡. It would not let me give 5 stars. Wonderful Pie!!!
Hi Nan! So happy to hear this! It really is delicious! Thanks for stopping by!
Delicious!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Perfect buttermilk pie. We loved it. It’s such an easy recipe with such a marvelous flavor. I always try a recipe exactly as written the first time I make it. I have no “wants” to change anything. It’s just that perfect of a pie.
Hi Joan! So happy you loved it! I appreciate your comment!
