Daddy’s Buttermilk Pie
My dad is a constant source of inspiration for me when it comes to cooking up good food. He is constantly perfecting, researching, and trying new recipes, and I benefit from all his hard work when he sends me things like this!! Recently retired my dad has perfected what he finds to be the perfect spring/summer dessert. Buttermilk Pie.
When he told me about it the other week I immediately asked for the recipe. With the new house and new patio furniture for entertaining I knew this would be an instant hit! After hounding him he finally sent this my way, and not only is it delicious, it is something different to put on the menu that your friends aren’t always going to see.
This version is topped with blueberries, however any fruit combo would do! This one is from my dad, and my new favorite dessert!
