Oh my sweet sugarpie.....well

Actually it's Buttermilk Pie but....nonetheless so yummy. I found this recipe on a website I like to frequent and had to make it. So off I ran into the kitchen with old southern hymns and then the beatles....all about balance my sweets, and began building a little piece of heaven. Now remember you have to allow it to cool and the chill, and all I can say is delish.
