Folk Fare: Buttermilk Pie

An old-fashioned favorite, from the days when nothing went to waste.

3 eggs

³/4 cup sugar

3 Tbsp. flour

1¹/2 cup buttermilk

2 Tbsp. melted butter

1 tsp. vanilla

3 Tbsp. lemon juice

grated rind of one lemon

cinnamon (to dust on top)

Crust:

Prepare your favorite pie crust (or buy one), and bake 10 minutes in a hot oven (450F) until set but not brown.

Filling:

Beat together the eggs and sugar
Stir in the flour, beat again
Pour in buttermilk; add the butter, vanilla, lemon juice, and rind
Mix together and pour into the pie crust

Baking:

Bake at 375F for 20-30 min., or until the filling just sets
Do not overbake or it will toughen
Dust with cinnamon and serve with fruit, if desired.
