Servings: 8
Ingredients
- Single pie crust
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare your pie crust, and place it in the bottom of a deep 9-inch pie plate.
- Preheat the oven to 350℉.
- In a large bowl, add sugar and flour, and whisk to combine.
- Add the eggs, and whisk to combine.
- Add the butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and whisk to combine.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the unbaked prepared pie crust, and bake for 45 to 50 minutes.
- The center will be set when the pie is done.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Or let cool, cover, and keep in the fridge until serving. (I prefer this pie cold.)
Notes
- If you want more lemon flavor in this pie, add 1 tablespoon of lemon zest and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the pie filling before baking it.
- This pie is best served cold so let it cool for 2 hours, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge until ready to serve.
- This pie can be made 1 to 2 days ahead of time.
- If you don’t have buttermilk on-hand, you can try using a buttermilk alternative. However, real buttermilk is best in this old-fashioned pie.
