Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center of the oven.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove it from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar, melted butter, and eggs. Mix well using a whisk until smooth and creamy.
Add the flour, buttermilk, vanilla extract, lemon juice, nutmeg, and salt to the bowl. Whisk until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Pour the custard mixture into the pie crust, filling it evenly.
Carefully transfer the pie dish to the oven. Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set around the edges but slightly jiggly in the center.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. The filling will continue to set as it cools.
Serve the pie at room temperature or slightly chilled. Optionally garnish with whipped cream or fresh berries before serving.
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
