2

Ingredients

12 Eggs
6 c Sugar
1 c All Purpose Flour
2 t. Salt
8 oz Melted Butter
3 c Buttermilk
Zest and Juice of Two Lemons
Scrapings of one vanilla bean

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375.

Prepare two pie shells in the pans and freeze while you prepare the filling.

Whisk sugar, salt and flour together, using the sugar to break up the flour lumps. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add dry to eggs and milk. Slowly whisk in slightly cooled, melted butter. Add lemon and vanilla.

Pour filling in the prepared/frozen pie shells. Place on a sheet pan and place in oven, turning oven down to 350 once you close the door. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn oven down to 325 and bake for an additional 30 minutes or until your pie is set but still jiggly.

Serve room temp or cold. Store overnight in refrigerator.
