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 delicious,
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!
