Buttermilk pie is believed to have originated in England. The recipe was brought to the United States by southern settlers. It was predominately made in Texas where they were very resourceful with buttermilk because it was in large abundance and inexpensive. When fruit was not in season, this pie could be made all year round with ingredients from the pantry (sugar, flour, butter, eggs, buttermilk). The traditional recipe for buttermilk pie calls for 2 cups of sugar which, combined with the buttermilk, gives the pie a very sweet and tangy flavor.
