Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made 9-inch pie crust
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, crimping the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, melted butter, flour, and salt until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Add the eggs to the mixture one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the buttermilk, vanilla extract, and nutmeg, mixing until the filling is smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 5

Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 6

Carefully place the pie in the oven and bake for 45–50 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A slight jiggle in the center is okay.

Step 7

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool to room temperature. The filling will continue to set as it cools.

Step 8

Slice into wedges and serve at room temperature or chilled. Optionally top with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.
