I have a big pet peeve.Years ago, you used to be able to buy a pint of buttermilk. What happened?! Now, you can only buy a quart of buttermilk! It drives me crazy. I then have to figure out how to use up the extra milk. I know you can make buttermilk using milk and lemon juice or vinegar, but I prefer using store bought buttermilk. I decided to make Buttermilk Pie which is an easy custard pie that tastes similar to crème brûlée. It’s creamy, buttery, delicate, and delicious.
