I have been making this for over 40 years. I discovered that it fails with LOW FAT buttermilk. I live in Oregon and can only find low fat buttermilk so must make adjustments like other reviewers suggested.

I tried the original recipe and the one that Okiemom suggested. I found that the improved pie with more flour and less butter is MUCH better. The original definitely needed to be in for an hour instead of 25 minutes. And the last 20 minutes I baked it at 370 degrees. That allowed it to set enough for it to be removed from the oven. I noticed that it continued to set while cooling. However, it left liquid butter deposits and seemed wet and soggy. The improved Recipe is PERFECT. Hopefully you've read the reviews in enough time to save your first attempt. It's salvageable, don't give up. If you read this before attempting. Do half a stick of butter and 4 Tbsp flour.

This is NOT a good recipe. The pie will not set. I wish I had read the reviews BEFORE i tried to make this terrible recipe. What a waste of time and good ingredients.
Emeril, do us all a favor and take this recipe down.
