Ingredients
Scale
- 1 9-inch pre-made pie crust (unbaked)
- ½ cup butter
- 3 eggs
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare your pie crust.
- Melt the butter and let it cool for a few minutes to avoid cooking the eggs.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until smooth.
- Add the cooled butter, flour, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and lemon juice. Whisk until combined and smooth.
- Pour the filling into the pie crust.
- Bake for 50–55 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or chilled, topped with whipped cream.
Notes
For a richer flavor, you can substitute some buttermilk with heavy cream.
Slicing the pie when it is warm will give it a more delicate texture, while chilling will result in firmer slices.
Serve with freshly whipped cream for added deliciousness!
