Ingredients
- 9-inch pie crust
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/2 stick of butter
Instructions
- Put crust into 9" pie pan. Mix together egg yolks, egg, buttermilk, white and brown sugar, salt, lemon zest and lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Cut the butter into the mixture and melt it by setting the bowl in a container of boiling water. Stir until butter has melted completely.
- Next pour the mixture into the crust and bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for an hour and ten minutes until all but the center is firm. Don't panic if the center of the pie remains a little undone. It will firm up once the pie cools.
- Serve with whip cream and lemon rind garnish.
