Step 1

Beat butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl till creamy.

Step 2

Add flour, salt, and eggs. Beat till smooth. Add buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla and blend well. (Mixture may appear curdled.)

Step 3

Pour filling into a 9" pie crust. I like to use a deep dish.

Step 4

Place pie pan on a cookie sheet and place in an oven that has been preheated to 350°. Bake for 50-55 minutes or till lightly browned on top and mostly set.

Step 5

Place pie on a cooling rack to cool. Serve at room temperature, and refrigerate any leftovers.
