Buttermilk Pie

It was a sad day in the Roadfood world when Dodd's Town House of Indianapolis closed its doors. We'll remember it for great steaks and fried chicken and sweet little croissants, and especially for buttermilk pie. Read more A heartland favorite, buttermilk pie is a study in simplicity. There are hardly any ingredients, and it is easy to make. The only trick is to not overcook it or make the crust too brown. You want it as pale as sweet cream with a lemony zest. It will rise up in the oven as it cooks, then deflate as it cools. It is best served slightly warm, less than an hour out of the oven. See less
