Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 pie crust
  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • ½ cup butter unsalted
  • 3 eggs at room temperature
  • 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla
  • 3 Tablespoons all purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. Place pie crust in a lightly greased 9" pie plate and poke holes in the bottom of it using a fork. You'll want a regular or deep dish pie plate. The store bought tins are too small for this recipe. If using a homemade crust, blind bake the crust. If using a store bought/ refrigerated pie crust, you won't need to blind bake.
    The sugar and butter beat together.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar together on high until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add the flour and salt and mix well on medium speed, about 30-60 seconds. Stir in the buttermilk and lemon juice by hand. Pour the mixture into the pie crust and bake for 45-55 minutes, until the edges are set and the middle is still a bit wobbly.
    Adding the buttermilk, and lemon juice and vanilla into the mixture.
  • Allow to cool for 2 hours before serving.

Notes

  • Make sure you allow it to cool to room temperature before refrigerating or it won't set up properly.
  • Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best results.
  • We have not tried freezing this pie, so can't recommend freezing it.
  • Try mixing in ½ teaspoon fresh lemon zest for a little stronger lemon flavor.
  • Top with fresh raspberries for a pop of tanginess and a perfect compliment to the flavor. Whipped cream may also be used.
