OLD-FASHIONED LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE
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.

OLD FASHIONED LEMON MERINGUE PIE
This is a wonderful tart/sweet pie. It is amazingly easy and quick to make this from-scratch pie. Use a store bought pie crust for convenience. It needs to chill in the fridge at least 2 hours, preferably overnight. I usually try to have my meringue going while the filling is cooking so that it will be ready while the filling is still nice and hot so it doesn't seperate, but not too soon so it doesn't weep. Sometimes I make it and sometimes I don't, but either way its an amazingly delicious pie.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. If you only have bottled lemon juice, use 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon.
- To make sure your pie filling is thick and creamy, cook it over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches a boil. Then, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1 minute, or until the filling has thickened.
- If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the milk onto the pie crust.
- To prevent the pie crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-12 minutes before adding the filling.
- Let the pie cool completely before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld together.
