Buttermilk Pie, Cutie Pies

Austin, Texas

Jaynie “The Pie Queen” Buckingham works magic inside a pink-and-green 4- x 8-foot trailer in downtown Austin. Out of this small, quirky space, she serves one of world’s best buttermilk pies. (Yes, best.) Jaynie offers several kinds, but buttermilk’s the standout. The filling is as silky as crème brûlée, covered by a crust that’s nearly paper thin yet still flaky and crisp.
