Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 115 grams unsalted butter
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 20 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 piece unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and eggs until smooth and creamy.
Gradually stir in the melted butter, followed by the buttermilk, all-purpose flour, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until fully combined and the filling is smooth.
Place your unbaked 9-inch pie crust in a pie pan. Pour the prepared filling into the crust.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden. When done, the center may jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Slice and serve the pie plain or with a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
