Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Prepared pie crust
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Salted butter, melted and cooled
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Grated nutmeg (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare your 9-inch pie crust by placing it in a pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar, melted butter, and all-purpose flour until smooth and well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time to the sugar mixture, whisking after each addition until fully incorporated.
Pour in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and fresh lemon juice. Whisk until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Carefully pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. If desired, sprinkle a light dusting of grated nutmeg over the top for added flavor.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown. The center should jiggle slightly but not appear liquidy.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This will help the filling fully set.
Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
