Lemon Buttermilk Custard Pie image

My Grandma always made this in addition to any other pie she was baking. After she passed away in 1984, the recipe was no where to be found. She must have had it memorized! After several years of baking every recipe I could find, I decided to develop my own. This is good warm or at room temp, but if you can wait, it is better...

The crust was a bit soggy. I think I need to bake it for a few minutes longer next time.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this pie was really good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

This pie was a hit with my family! The tangy lemon flavor paired perfectly with the creamy buttermilk custard filling. The crust was flaky and golden brown.
