Lemon-Infused 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
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or 200 degrees Celsius.
2
In a mixing bowl, blend together sugar and lemon peel until the two are well combined. Using your fingers, work the lemon peel into the sugar to release its aromatic oils and create a fragrant mixture. Add flour to this blend and stir until everything is well incorporated.
3
Next, incorporate buttermilk, lemon juice, eggs, melted butter, and a hint of lemon essence into the mixture. Pour this batter into your pie crust.
4
Once you've placed the pie in the oven, bake for 10 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or 175 degrees Celsius, and continue baking until the center of the pie is just slightly jiggly. This should take around 50 to 65 minutes, depending on your oven's performance. As the pie cools, its custard will continue to set and become more stable.
