soy buttermilk pie


Have you heard of buttermilk pie? Apparently it's a thing. I've recently discovered that home-made pie crust is super easy to make--meaning I've been on a pretty big pie kick. The only thing is that when you make pie crusts, you always make two--and I'm not a double crust pie kind of girl. So I inevitably have an extra pie crust in the fridge for a week or two, and I'm left thinking of what to do with it before it gets past its prime.

Well, last week I had a lecture in nutrition class about complex carbs, aka sugar. An hour and a half of talking about sugar. Which naturally made me want to immediately go home a bake something. Luckily I had a pie crust in the fridge. Unluckily I didn't have much to fill it with. No nuts, no fruit, no nothing. So I browsed my way through foodgawker until I found what is apparently a very popular pie--buttermilk. The name is a little misleading though, because there's more sugar than anything else. It was delicious, but it was definitely just a sugar pie. Which, I suppose, is actually pretty appropriate given my motivation to make it in the first place. Hm.

Recipe here. Was it man-pleasin'?? I'll say yes, only because who wouldn't like a piece of pie that someone else made for them?
Also, I used soy milk (with a splash of vinegar...impromtu buttermilk)
