    My boyfriend is the early 1970’s had a grandmother who served a buttermilk pie, which I loved. She wrote out the recipe and gave it to me and I still make it occasionally. I remarried 8 years ago and my husband had never had it before, but he requests it now. Bisquick has an impossible buttermilk pie recipe that I sometimes make that has a similar flavor without the crust texture and a bit quicker to make.

      Old Timey Buttermilk Pie - given to me by Meme Barbee as hand written on a recipe card in about 1973
      1 9 inch unbaked pie crust, 1/2 cup butter or margarine, 1 cup sugar, 3 rounded tablespoons all purpose flour, 3 eggs-beaten, 1 cup buttermilk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg to sprinkle on pie before baking. Cream butter and sugar. Add beaten eggs and flour. Beat well, then stir in buttermilk and vanilla. Pour into unbaked pie shell and sprinkle with nutmeg. Bake 40-50 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
      I often use powdered buttermilk and add it along with the flour then add water in place of the buttermilk following the directions on the canister. I usually add a bit more vanilla and nutmeg since we prefer that. I do use real butter rather than margarine.

      @@TheGoldenAgeofAmerica The Bisquick Impossible Buttermilk pie recipe is still online and identical to what I have made for decades. I do the same thing with the powdered buttermilk as I do with the previous recipe. One doesn’t need a crust but it does come out nicely without it. Again, I add more vanilla and do sprinkle nutmeg on, but you can add cinnamon or other flavorings instead. We prefer both versions after refrigerated and chilled, but it doesn’t always make it to the fridge intact unless serving it to others 😊

    All these things are good, but they aren't anywhere near as good as you are trying to make them out to be. For example, cobbler is great, but it's never going to rival gourmet anything. It's humble, simple, quick and easy. That's what makes it so accessible. It's never going to be the best food you ever had, but it is by no means bad. Anyone can make one, and it's really difficult to mess up.
