Buttermilk Pecan Pie

I decided I wanted to try to make a buttermilk pie because my husband said it was one of his favorties, and he is not a big dessert eater.  So I searched through several recipes and decided on this one from Taste of Home because it had pecans in it.  http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/Buttermilk-Pecan-Pie

I modified it a bit, but I have to say it was delicious.  And I did not even know I liked buttermilk pie, but man it was good.  It makes a great Sunday afternoon treat with coffee or great to take to a potluck supper.  I made two and stored one in the freezer for later use.  I took it last night to a Church supper and it was devoured!
