Strawberry Buttermilk Pie
Description
Homemade pastry for tea. This pie won't take much time and makes a great option to serve with tea, treat your colleagues, or take along as a snack. This recipe includes both baking powder and baking soda—do not omit or substitute either. They work perfectly together, remain undetectable in taste, and help the pie stay soft for longer. Use firm, fully ripe berries to avoid excess juice.
