This is the treasured "Golden Oldie" that my grandmother made so often whenever we'd come to visit. Grandma grew her own pecans, and we never tried of cracking them and picking out the meat when we knew we'd be treated to her special pie!

This was the first buttermilk pecan pie I had ever made or tasted. My family LOVED it!!!!

I don't like traditional pecan pie at all and only made this pie as it was requested by a guest. But it was DELICIOUS- not cloyingly sweet like the traditional pecan pie. Awesome! I would definitely make this more than just once a year at Thanksgiving. I might even try it without the pecans for a custard pie- the filling was that good.

I have made this pie around the holidays since it first came out. I make it once a year. It is one of my favorite pies! Great!

I was looking for a recipe that would use some butter milk I had bought and found this recipe. I was so good, my family ate in 2 days. Simple and easy to make. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, Yes, Yes, this is easy and GREAT. Am already making it for the second time - everyone LOVED it at Thanksgiving. Be sure and use deep dish pie crust - it will still overflow. This will be a permanent addition to our Thanksgiving.
yes, this is incredible pie - not too sugary - making it for the second time - be sure and use deep dish pie crust - even then it will overflow!
