August: Blueberry Buttermilk Pie


This treasure from Scratch Baking Company is a nice change from traditional blueberry pie. The rich, creamy custard punctuated by fresh Maine blueberries is a great end to a summer meal. It's worth making your own crust for this; Moosewood Restaurant Book of Desserts has a good recipe if you need one. While it doesn't absolutely have to be pre-baked, it does help make a crisp, flaky crust.

Be sure to check out Scratch in the Willard Beach neighborhood of South Portland for other equally delicious housemade desserts and the best bread and bagels in the state (or perhaps the country!).
