Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and flour. Add the melted butter and mix well. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and lemon juice until everything is well combined.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Cool: Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set and ensures clean slices.
Notes
- For the best flavor, use fresh lemon juice. This will enhance the tanginess and freshness of the pie.
- Be sure to let the pie cool completely before slicing for the best texture and presentation.
- If you prefer a firmer pie, you can chill it in the refrigerator after it cools to room temperature for a few hours.
