Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 stick (8 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cubed
1/3 cup ice water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/4 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
4 large eggs, plus 1 yolk, at room temperature
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Whipped cream, for serving

Steps:

  • For the dough: Add the flour and salt to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the butter forms pea-size pieces. Add the water and continue to pulse until a dough begins to come together. Press the dough into a disc and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a disk about 11 to 12 inches wide. Line the bottom of a 9-inch pie plate with the dough, then crimp the edges. Refrigerate while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: Whisk together the sugar, buttermilk, eggs, egg yolk, melted butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, vanilla and salt until well blended. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk just until incorporated. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet, then pour the filling over the dough. Bake until the top is golden brown and set around the edges with a slight jiggle in the center, about 1 hour. If the crust begins to get too brown, but the filling isn't ready, cover the edges loosely with foil. Let the pie completely cool to room temperature before slicing. Serve with whipped cream.

Number Of Ingredients 16

Pâte Brisée (recipe below)
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
4 large eggs yolks
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
For Pâte Brisée
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
2 tablespoons cold vegetable shortening
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons ice water plus additional if necessary

Steps:

  • Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch (1 quart) glass pie plate. Crimp the edge decoratively and chill the shell for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl whisk together the butter, the sugar, the buttermilk, the egg yolks, the flour, the vanilla, the zest, the salt, and the nutmeg and pour the filling into the shell. Bake the pie in the lower third of the oven for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325°F., and bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the filling is set and golden. Let the pie cool on a rack and serve it at room temperature or chilled.
  • Make the Pâte Brisée:
  • In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

Tips:

- For a richer flavor, use full-fat buttermilk and heavy cream. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Be sure to whisk the eggs and sugar together until they are light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling. - Don't overcook the pie filling. It should be set but still slightly wobbly in the center. - For a perfect crust, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy. - Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the crust to set.

This creamy buttermilk lemon pie is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its tangy lemon flavor and creamy buttermilk filling, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a delicious and refreshing dessert, give this buttermilk lemon pie a try.
