Ingredients
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 1½ cups sugar
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Powdered sugar for garnish optional
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the pie crust in a pie dish and set aside.
Mix Sugar and Eggs
- In a bowl, whisk sugar and eggs until smooth and slightly creamy. This forms the base of the filling.
Add Wet Ingredients
- Pour in melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Add Dry Ingredients
- Add flour and salt. Stir gently until the mixture becomes smooth and lump-free.
Fill the Crust
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust. Spread evenly using a spatula if needed.
Bake the Pie
- Bake for 45–50 minutes until the top is golden and the center is set but slightly soft.
Cool the Pie
- Remove from oven and let it cool completely. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Slice and Serve
- Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and serve for a sweet and creamy dessert.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better mixing
- Do not overbake to keep filling soft
- Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra flavor
- Use homemade pie crust for best results
- Chill before serving for clean slices
- Add coconut flakes for variation
- Serve with whipped cream for extra richness
