Nannies Buttermilk Pie
My nanny, Wanda Whiteley, was an amazing cook and an incredible woman. Born just after the Great Depression into a poor family with several siblings, her childhood was far from easy. Struggling with severe asthma and unable to walk miles to school every day, she stayed home and taught herself to read and write. Despite her challenges, she was a loving, supportive, funny, and wonderful person. I miss her dearly.
A few years before her passing, she took the time to handwrite several of her favorite recipes into a small spiral notebook. She gifted it to me as a Christmas present, and I treasure it to this day. Despite her terrible arthritis, she painstakingly wrote out each recipe, including the Buttermilk Pie recipe, which remains a family favorite.
My nanny would have been pleased to know that her recipes are being shared and loved. I’m proud to post this Buttermilk Pie recipe on our site and share it with all of you. A printable recipe card can be found at the bottom of this post.
