Pineapple Buttermilk Pie

Ingredients

• 1 9-inch deep dish pie shell frozen or homemade
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup butter melted
• 3 large eggs
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• 1 8 oz can crushed pineapple well drained

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place pie crust on a baking sheet. Set aside.
• Sift together the sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg.
• In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, beat together buttermilk, butter, eggs, vanilla and lemon extracts until smooth. Add to the sifted dry ingredients. Whip until smooth. Mix in drained pineapple by hand.
• Pour evenly into the pie shell and sprinkle the top with additional nutmeg.
• Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Check the edges of the pie around 40 minutes, and cover with aluminum foil or a pie crust shield, to prevent the edges from over browning.
• Cool completely on a wire rack before cutting.
• Serve with fruit or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Store chilled.

Notes

If using pineapple packed in syrup, adjust the granulated sugar to 1 3/4 cup
