Ingredients
For the Filling
- 1¼ cups sugar
- ½ cup butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup homemade or store-bought buttermilk
For the Crust
- 1 (14 oz) ready-bake deep dish pie crust
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Sugar & Butter
- Cream together sugar and softened butter until smooth.
2. Add Eggs
- Crack eggs into a separate bowl to check for shells, then add them to the mix and combine well.
3. Flavor It Up
- Add in flour, vanilla, and lemon juice.
- Mix until the filling is smooth.
4. Pour the Buttermilk
- Slowly add in the buttermilk and stir until the mixture is well combined (yes, it will look thin — that’s normal!).
5. Fill and Bake
- Pour the mixture into the pie crust, place on a baking sheet, and bake for 50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
6. Cool Completely
- Allow the pie to cool fully on the counter, then refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let it firm up.
7. Slice and Serve
- Top with whipped cream or Cool Whip and enjoy while doing your best happy dance — just like Kellz!
Pro Tips & Suggestions
- Crack eggs separately to avoid shells or surprises.
- Use homemade buttermilk for a richer, tangier flavor.
- Refrigerate before slicing for clean cuts and firm texture.
- Shout out your apron plug while you bake — it’s tradition now!
