Delightful Lemon Buttermilk Pie

Ingredients

- 1 store-bought pie dough (or homemade if preferred)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Powdered sugar, for dusting

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it's hot and ready for baking.

2. Prepare the pie crust: Roll out the pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate and gently press it into the bottom and up the sides. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. Refrigerate the crust for 15 minutes.

3. Create the filling: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.

4. Incorporate the eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating on low until fully incorporated before adding the next.

5. Add the dry and wet ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, and then gradually work in the buttermilk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and kosher salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

6. Fill the crust: Remove the pie crust from the refrigerator and pour the lemon buttermilk mixture into the crust, ensuring an even distribution.

7. Bake the pie: Carefully place the pie in the preheated oven. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the filling is set with a slight jiggle in the center and the crust is golden brown.

8. Cool the pie: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack. Once completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar.

9. Serve: Slice and serve this delightful pie chilled or at room temperature.
