Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
If you're using a store-bought pie crust, simply place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If you're making your own crust, roll it out and press it into the pie dish. Crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, flour, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Gradually introduce the buttermilk to the mixture and stir until the batter is smooth and thoroughly combined.
-
Pour the buttermilk pie filling into your prepared pie crust.
-
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 50 minutes or until the pie is set in the middle. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool on a wire rack for about 1 hour.
-
Slice and serve your delicious buttermilk pie as is or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
