Old Fashioned Buttermilk Lemon Pie
I always wondered what Old Fashioned Buttermilk Pie would taste like. It's creamy, I loved that. The lemon flavor was perfect, it was like what a lemon sherbet ice cream would taste like. Not in your face lemon flavor, but very nice and enjoyable

Ingredients

Instructions
- Make your homemade pie crust and place in a 9 inch pie plate. If using premade frozen, unthaw. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
- In the bowl of an electric stand mixer beat eggs and sugar until light yellow in color, the mixture will be slightly thick. Beat the flour in first, then the buttermilk, melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
