Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 piece 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Stir in the flour until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the buttermilk, mixing well to create a smooth batter.
Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, and nutmeg until evenly combined.
Pour the batter into the unbaked 9-inch pie crust.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is set and slightly golden on top. The center should jiggle slightly but not be liquid-like.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack.
Refrigerate for 1-2 hours before serving to let the filling set fully.
Slice and serve as-is, or garnish with whipped cream if desired. Enjoy!
