Finally, a good buttermilk pie recipe (with changes recommended from other reviewers. I rated this only 4, because the recipe will not work as listed, with the changes it is 5-star. This is what I did: 1 cup sugar + 2 TBLS, 4 TBLS flour, Zest from 2 lemons, 4 extra-large eggs, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 stick (4 TBLS butter, melted. Followed the process of the recipe with the changes in ingredients. Baked on lowest rack of oven (to crisp crust on bottom at 400 degrees for 25 minutes. Reduce heat to 350, bake an additional 35 minutes (center will puff a bit, and there may be a little butter in the center of the pie. Cool pie to room temperature - butter will end up incorporating itself! Serve with berries and whipped cream. Delish! This is the 4th buttermilk pie recipe I've tried - and this one is now a winner!

Tastes just incredible. But baking time is minimum 1 hr.
Also, substituting lime zest for lemon zest gives this recipe an added fresh kick!

The 3-star was for the original recipe, it is an easy pie to make. I am SO glad that I read the reviews before making it. The modified recipe is really good and very tasty - more lemon zest (2 whole lemons, more flour (4 TBSP, and longer cooking time (50 minutes. I will probably cut the sugar to one cup next time. Thanks everyone for your input.
