Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a medium bowl, combine sugar and lemon zest. With your fingertips, rub the zest into the sugar until fragrant. This releases the lemon's essential oils and intensifies the flavor. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Add flour to the sugar mixture and whisk until well combined. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Gradually whisk in buttermilk, lemon juice, beaten eggs, softened butter, and lemon extract until the batter is smooth. (5 minutes)

05

Step
1 mins

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the unbaked pie crust. (1 minute)

06

Step
1 hrs

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until the center is just slightly jiggly, approximately 50-65 minutes. (60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding it to the batter. The nutty notes will complement the lemon beautifully.
If your pie crust edges are browning too quickly, cover them with foil or a pie shield during the last 20 minutes of baking.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving. The custard will continue to set as it cools.

    The crust turned out perfect! I blind baked the crust for 10 minutes before pouring in the filling.

    This pie is so easy to make and tastes amazing! The lemon flavor is just right—not too overpowering.
