Gluten free, dairy free buttermilk pie

So, only one member of my household had any idea what a buttermilk pie might be when I was playing with recipes this weekend.
All things considered, between that and the fact that we don't keep buttermilk in the house --hell, we don't even keep dairy milk in the main fridge--, I probably should have chosen another recipe. Instead I went, "Okay. Hopefully, y'all don't hate this."
First things first, of course, was proving that I could make buttermilk out of Silk almond milk. Somewhere, my very Southern father was horrified Saturday night and had no idea why.
Second was making a gluten free pie crust.
Third was making certain I knew how to get around the bit of flour used in the recipe itself.
So.
I used a gluten free pie crust mix that's made by a local company; it's sorghum flour and xanthan gum; I added the spectrum palm shortening, water, and sugar, froze it for about 20 minutes, oiled the pyrex pie plate, added the crust and then baked it for five minutes on 350.
This recipe will work with probably any crust, but I do recommend it's at least been in the oven for a few minutes before you add the filling.
