BAM! Emeril does it again!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband saw this prepared on Emeril's show and had me print it off and try it. It is easy, just enough lemon and... fantastic. It has since become one of our favorites. I cook Southern, so it is now tucked safely in my recipe file. Thanks, Emeril.Read more

Easy Buttermilk Pie
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made three of these pies today, quick, easy, and adjustable. I made the first with all ingredients listed, then subbed... vanilla in instead of lemon. The third, I substituted nutmeg instead of lemon. All three pies were awesome!Read more

Too much lemon, but delicious
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I had to adjust a couple things with this recipe, the amount of lemon to half, the amount of flour to double and the cooking... time to at least one hour. I should have read the reviews before I baked my first one. I thought I was doing something wrong and couldn't understand why my cooking time was WAY off. Sometimes the simplest dishes are the hardest to make.Read more

Butter and sugar AWFUL Pie
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

The cooking time should definitely be 1 hour to 1 hour +. The amount of butter and sugar are both to much. Plus the pie is to... sweet. Sorry but no stars from me.There are many more good recipe online then this.Read more
