Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust
- 113 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 240 milliliters buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges, flute the edges if desired, and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from the heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and all-purpose flour. Whisk together until well blended.
Add the eggs to the sugar-flour mixture and whisk until smooth.
Stir in the melted butter, buttermilk, pure vanilla extract, lemon juice, ground nutmeg, and salt. Whisk until the filling is smooth and fully incorporated.
Pour the buttermilk mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 50-55 minutes. The filling should be set but have a slight jiggle in the center when done.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack. As it cools, the filling will firm up further.
Slice and serve at room temperature or chilled, optionally garnished with a dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
