Maple Cream Pie

Here in the dead of winter, there isn't a lot of fresh fruit in season. But we do have sugar and dairy. So why not make a Maple Cream Pie?

Maple-Buttermilk Pie with Rye crust

I'd never had buttermilk pie before, but it's a new favorite. It's sweet and custardy, and tangy like key lime without citrus. This recipe comes from http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/maple-buttermilk-pie-recipe.html, and the photos there prove that I have a long way to go in the pie-appearance department. However: tasty as can be. (Pictured here with a somewhat generous dollop of whipped cream).
