Buttermilk Pie
1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
3 egg yokes, beaten
3 Tablespoons flour
¼ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 ½ cups buttermilk
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten into a meringue
1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust
Divide egg yokes from whites. Beat egg whites into a stiff meringue. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar.
Add egg yolks and beat well.
Zest lemon.
Juice lemon.
Add flour, salt, lemon juice, zest, and mix thoroughly.
Add buttermilk.
Fold in beaten egg whites and pour into crust.
Bake for 10 minutes at 450 degrees.
Reduce heat to 350 degrees and continue baking for 40 more minutes.
You can make your own crust, but I used a ready made shortbread crust. Delish!
