- Preheat Oven and Prepare Pie Crust:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). If using a store-bought pie crust, place it in a 9-inch pie dish. If making homemade, prepare and roll out the dough, then transfer it to the pie dish and crimp the edges.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar (or sugar substitute), flour, and salt until well combined.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition.
- Stir in buttermilk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and lemon zest (if using). Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Fill and Bake the Pie:
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easier handling.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. The pie may still jiggle slightly in the center but will set as it cools.
- Cool and Serve:
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely on a wire rack before serving. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing.
