Buttermilk Pie

This wonderful buttermilk pie recipe was shared with me by my husband's aunt, Lila Scheer of Vancouver, WA. Lila says, "I like to try old recipes. When I found this one, I wondered how it would turn out. We found it to be delicious, as did our visiting daughter and son-in-law. The texture is unusual. Though vanilla is the only flavoring in the pie, I tasted a hint of coconut. Surprise your family with this good old fashioned pie."

This is a wonderful, old-fashioned pie. Don't be put off by the buttermilk - this is a sweet and flavorful pie. Lila made five pies for a family reunion, and this pie was definitely my favorite!
