STRAWBERRY- LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE

Category: Pies - Cream and Custard

Filling:
11/2 cups sugar
1 cup buttermilk
1 tbsp flour
2 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Minced zest and juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of salt

Shell:
One 9-inch unbaked pie shell

Topping:
1/4 cup honey
Juice of 1 lime
2 pints strawberries, hulled and halved
Whipped cream

Preheat oven to 350.

Prepare filling: Whisk all ingredients together in a large bowl until blended. Pour into pie shell and place on a baking sheet. Bake until filling is just set, yet still a bit jiggly, 40-50 minutes. Remove from oven and cool to room temperature; chill if not serving right away. (Let chilled pie stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.)

Prepare topping: Heat honey and lime juice until melted. Pour over berries and let stand at least 5 minutes. Just before serving, arrange on pie with a slotted spoon. Top individual servings with whipped cream.
