This classic Southern Buttermilk Pie is creamy, custardy, and perfectly tangy with a golden flaky crust. Custardy, tangy, and perfect when served warm or chilled.
Remove the pie crust from the freezer and allow it to stand on the counter (for at least 10 minutes).
In a bowl, first, whisk the sugar and melted butter until combined.
Then add the eggs and flour to the bowl and whisk until combined.
Add the vanilla, lemon juice, and buttermilk and whisk together.
Add the nutmeg and mix (optional).
Pour the mixture into the pie crust.
Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until browned.
Remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely (to allow it to set) before serving. Best refrigerated overnight then served, cold, at room temperature or warm.
