For those of you who’ve been readers since the beginning, you may remember I posted this buttermilk pie recipe back in April 2012! Back then I had absolutely no skills in food photography (or presentation for that matter). I still wouldn’t say I’ve mastered it, but it’s certainly improved! Because this is still one of my favorite easy dessert recipes, I wanted to share the recipe again with better photos.

Unless you forget to put in an ingredient (like I did on my SnapChat last time!!), it really is a foolproof pie that is mouthwateringly delicious. It’s a very southern recipe that’s perfect for pairing with your favorite comfort food. I made this pie for my stepdad’s birthday at the farm, where we were having barbecue – it was a hit! I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have!

PS – since you now know about my new house… one of the first things I’m going to buy once I’m all moved in is a colorful KitchenAid mixer. The one you see above is my mom’s at her house in Austin. They are a necessity for die-hard bakers like myself. I’m thinking maybe the aqua? CUTE.

1/2 cup of butter

2 cups sugar

3 eggs
