This luxurious Lemon-Buttermilk Pie comes from a superb cookbook (aptly named) Homemade Decadence.  The author, Joy Wilson, has compiled a collection of homemade treats; everything from breakfast/brunch treats, fruit treats, cakes, pies, cookies, breads…you name it. All of the recipes are ones that are not overwhelmingly difficult to make and, well, you’ll want to make them all!

The ingredients in this lemon-specked creamy pie are simple: buttermilk, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, eggs, vanilla, and a touch of flour. The pie sets beautifully in the oven and if you have extra buttermilk, she shares a crust recipe that includes buttermilk as well. (I opted however for my favorite whole wheat, organic store-bought crust, but really any crust you love will do.)  I plan to make this pie again in the colder months with its suggested sauce of maple syrup, orange juice and cranberries. But for now while the heat is still around, I simply served the pie with fresh mint and tart raspberries.
