This was my Granny Berta's recipe dating back to around 1920. Living on a little farm with a dairy cow and chickens, she always had the makings for great desserts! If she did not have vanilla, she would use 1/8th tsp. lemon extract in her filling and meringue instead. This is very different from the usual buttermilk pie recipes, but still very good. If you want the filling slightly thicker, use an 8" crust, but 9" is certainly adequate for this rich and yummy pie. You can substitute a baked graham cracker crust if you prefer, and you can also forego making meringue and use whipped cream.

    To make meringue, on high speed in small to medium mixing bowl, beat egg whites until frothy. Add sugar and cream of tartar gradually until thick. Add vanilla and beat until slightly stiff but glossy peaks form. Spoon over pie filling, spreading firmly to the edges of the pie crust. Swirl the top of the meringue with the spoon for decoration.
