Description
From the farm journal's complete home baking book, pg 300. This was different from other buttermilk pie recipes already posted. I did increase the lemon zest a bit when i made it (probably closer to 1 tsp). Per the cookbook: "a lemony custard pie with the texture of a cheesecake, topped with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg."
