Print Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pie shell parbaked.
  • 2 eggs separated
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 Tbsp flour
  • 1 stick butter melted and cooled slightly
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 can pumpkin puree
  • Zest of one lemon
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Beat egg yolks, pour in sugar and flour and beat until creamed together.
  • Pour in melted butter (be sure the butter is cooled slightly to prevent the eggs from cooking) and beat until creamy.
  • Add remaining ingredients and beat until combined.
  • Whip egg whites in a separate bowl. Fold into custard mixture.
  • Pour into pie shell. Set on baking sheet. Bake in middle of preheated oven for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes or until done in the center. A toothpick should come out clean even if the center still jiggles a little.
  • Allow to cool completely or even chill overnight in the fridge before serving.
  • And if the center cracks, well, just decorate it with pretty pastry shell leaves. ;)
