Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
Step 2: Mix the Filling
In a large bowl, whisk sugar and melted butter until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Step 3: Add Remaining Ingredients
Whisk in buttermilk, flour, vanilla, salt, and optional nutmeg or lemon zest until fully combined.
Step 4: Fill the Pie
Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A slight jiggle in the center is normal.
Step 6: Cool & Serve
Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing. The filling will firm up as it cools.
Serving Tip
Serve at room temperature or chilled with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar 🥧✨
