Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 3 all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 ½ cups buttermilk
To serve:
- 1 cup Whipped cream
- 1 cup Fresh fruit blueberries or even sliced peaches
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F or 180°C.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and butter and beat until fluffy.Add the eggs in one at a time, beating well in between.Beat in flour, lemon zest and vanilla.Stir in the buttermilk with the beaters on very low.
- Pour the buttermilk mixture into the pie shell.
- Grate on a little nutmeg or sprinkle on powdered nutmeg very lightly.
- Bake until the top is lightly browned and the center is just starting to set, about 40-45 minutes. It should be just the slightest bit jiggly. It'll set up more firmly when it cools.
- Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
- Slice the pie into individual servings. Garnish with the whipped cream and fruit or eat it plain.
Notes
*I used Bulgarian buttermilk. Think Greek yogurt vs. regular yogurt. That's how Bulgarian buttermilk compares to regular buttermilk.
