Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan with butter or non-stick spray and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour until well combined.
Add the eggs to the bowl one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until the mixture is smooth.
Slowly stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
Gradually drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly to ensure a uniform batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pie pan. The mixture will be thin, but it will set as it bakes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown on top and the center is just set (it should barely jiggle when gently shaken).
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. The pie will firm up as it cools.
Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally garnished with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
