Description

Simple, quick, and easy to make, you'll love the hint of lemon flavor in this custardy Amish buttermilk pie.

Ingredients

1 cup white sugar
1 medium lemon, zested
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2 Combine sugar and lemon zest in a bowl. Using your hands, rub zest into sugar to release the natural oils of the zest. Add flour and mix well.
3 Whip in buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, butter, and lemon extract. Pour batter into pie crust.
4 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake until center is slightly jiggly in center, 50 to 65 minutes. Custard will continue to set as pie cools.
