Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp lemon zest (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven:
- 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare filling:
- In a large bowl, whisk sugar, flour, and salt.
- Beat in eggs, then add melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth.
- Assemble pie:
- Pour filling into the unbaked pie crust.
- Bake:
- 50–60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set (it may still jiggle slightly).
- Cool:
- Let cool completely before slicing. Serve at room temperature or chilled.
🥧 Tip: For a slightly caramelized top, you can sprinkle a little sugar over the pie before baking.
If you want, I can also give a quick version that uses no mixer and takes only 10 minutes prep—it’s almost foolproof.
Do you want me to do that?
