Number Of Ingredients 9

One 9-inch prebaked pastry shell
1/4 pound softened butter
1 cup sugar
3 large eggs
Grated zest of 2 lemons
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon cornmeal

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream the butter and sugar, and add the eggs one by one. Blend in the lemon juice, zest, buttermilk, vanilla and cornmeal so you have a light mixture. Pour filling into pie shell and bake for 10 minutes. Lower temperature to 325 degrees and bake for 20 minutes or more until center is almost completely set.
  • TIP: LEMON PEPPER
  • This is a great tip to lower your salt intake. Just peel the zest from a lemon, avoiding the white pith which is bitter. Bake at a low temperature, like 300 for about 2035 minutes, until peel is dry (temperature depends on how big a batch). Coarsely chop, and blend in a spice grinder with 15 black peppercorns, 10 white peppercorns, 8 allspice berries, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder. Pulse to combine.
  • LEMON BUTTER
  • Soft butter. Juice lemons, add shallots and parsley. Season with salt and white pepper. Mix well and form into logs for serving and freezing.
