  Not the traditional pie.

  Rated: 3 stars out of 5

  With all that lemon zest and no vanilla, this is not the traditional buttermilk pie that we all grew up with. It's a good... pie, but it's a lemon pie. Also, the eggs did not set up within the time. I had to turn the oven way down and leave the pie in there for a much longer time to get the eggs to set. This recipe must not have been tested; needs work.Read more

  Timing tips

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  This is an easy, old southern pie and I've made it for years now. I love it slightly warm with ice cream on the side or... fresh whipped and sweetened whipping cream. A lot of people said the timing was off. For starters I always made the Tbs of flour a heaping Tbs. Now every oven is different but I've always baked it for about 35-45 minutes on the bottom half of my oven, in a 9" glass or cast iron pie pan. It will be mostly, but not completely, setup when it's done and lightly browned on top but leave it set on the counter until it cools completely to room temp and then stick it in the fridge if you want. Sets up perfect every time for me. :) Also, I've always added 1 tsp fresh lemon juice with the zest... unless I didn't have a lemon on hand and then I used 1/2 tsp lemon extract and 1/2 tsp rum. If you want an easy homemade crust in a hurry, take 1 cup flour, unsifted, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 cup of oil and mix together. Add 2-3 Tbs. ice water and mix with your hands until a dough forms. No need to roll it out.. just throw it in the pie pan and press it out. It'll surprise ya and save you a trip to the store for a not-as-good store bought crust!Read more

  Super good

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I love this. Super simple and yummy but needs to cook longer. I don't even know how long I ended up cooking mine. I kept... adding 5 more mins. Proably 30 mins longer. I was starting to worry lol.Read more

  Make sure to add buttermilk last, you can make it with or without the lemon. It is so good.

  Good Pie......timing off

  Rated: 4 stars out of 5

  I've made this pie a number of times and it's really good; however to make it great you need to increase the cooking time... about 25 minutes.Read more

  Disappointed

  Rated: 2 stars out of 5

  I guess I am in the same boat as others...didn't read all the reviews before I started baking my pies. NOT ENOUGH COOKING... TIME I baked for the 25 suggested minutes and the middle never did it's thing. Don't know if I will bake longer next time or just give up???Read more
