Ingredients

1 unbaked pie shell
12 eggs
6 cups sugar
1 cup flour
3 cups buttermilk (I prefer Cruze's)
2 teaspoons salt
One lemon, zested and juiced
1 vanilla bean, scraped
8 ounces melted butter

Directions

1

Preheat the oven to 350F.
2

Keep the unbaked pie shell in the fridge until ready to usethe crust should be nice and cold before baking (but not frozen).
3

Whisk all other ingredients together, adding buttermilk in at the very end to avoid curdling.
4

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the cold, unbaked pie shell and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until you get an even jiggle throughout. You want the same kind of jiggle you would see on a panna cotta. It should not be too firm, because it will continue to cook and set up as it cools.
5

Allow to cool for one hour before serving.
