Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 piece 9-inch unbaked pie crust
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and granulated sugar until smooth and well combined.
Add the all-purpose flour to the mixture and whisk until no lumps remain.
Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Gradually mix in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt until the filling is smooth and evenly combined.
Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp or trim the edges as desired.
Pour the buttermilk filling into the prepared pie crust.
Sprinkle the ground nutmeg evenly over the top of the pie.
Carefully transfer the pie to the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden on top. The center should jiggle slightly but will firm up as it cools.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
Serve at room temperature or chilled. Enjoy with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired!
