TNT Lemon Buttermilk Pie

[QSis]

Lot of lemon going on in this category these days.

Well, I was dying to try buttermilk pie, and my mom loves lemon, so I made this version for Mother's Day.

The good news is that it tasted verrrrrrry lemony and verrrrrrrry delicious. The bad news is that I now really want to taste plain buttermilk pie.

What a lovely consistency this pie is!

I grated nutmeg on top, but I'd like to have a better presentation. You think maybe lemon slices in the middle or a sprig of mint, or both?

What about candied lemon peel? I bet you could make it look very pretty and it would stay with the theme.....LEMON.

Mix together well:
1/2 C butter... melted
2 C sugar
2 tsp vanilla
3 eggs
3 TBS flour
1/4 tsp salt

Sprinkle 1 C pecans over pie shell. Pour filling over.
