Ingredients

1 9 inch deep dish pie crust, frozen or homemade
1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg plus additional for the top
1 cup buttermilk (not fat free) room temperature
1/2 cup butter (salted or unsalted) melted and cooled
3 large eggs room temperature
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
whipped cream for serving, optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
In a medium size mixing bowl, sift together the sugar, flour, salt and nutmeg using a whisk.
In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, butter, eggs, lemon juice and vanilla.
Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until fully combined. Pour the filling evenly into the pie shell. Sprinkle the top lightly with additional nutmeg.
Carefully place the pan into the oven and bake for 50-60 minutes OR until the center is set when gently shaken. Check at 30 minutes and cover the edges to prevent overbrowning, if needed.
Remove from the oven to a cooling rack. Cool completely before cutting.
Serve chilled with a dollop of whipped cream, if desired. Store chilled.

Notes

Make Homemade Buttermilk: To every one cup of whole milk add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice. Let stand for 5-10 minutes then stir well and proceed with the recipe.
