Buttermilk Pie is a tangy, creamy Southern classic that will take you back to grandma's house. It's so easy to throw together and is a real crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ cups sugar
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1 uncooked pie crust

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Dust both sides of pie crust with flour. Place in 9-inch pie pan and trim edges.
  • Whisk together first 2 ingredients in a large bowl. Whisk eggs and next 6 ingredients into flour mixture. 
  • Pour into pie crust.
  • Bake at 350° for 35 to 55 minutes or until almost set, shielding edges with aluminum foil after 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, and cool 1 hour.
  • Store any leftovers in refrigerator.

Notes

  • Butter may cook out from under the edge of the aluminum foil, so be sure to put a pan on a rack underneath the pie to protect your oven.
  •  
  • Pie should be jiggly, but not liquidy when it comes out. It will firm up as it cools.
