Pie Recipes - Lemon Buttermilk Pie with Whole Wheat Crust (tastes like graham crackers)

Buttermilk Lemon Pie with a Whole Wheat Pastry Crust
This one really struck my fancy, since Stephen came up with a delicious and truly unique pie filling AND a (partially) whole wheat crust that I think would work well with many creamy or custardy fillings.

MAKES: 1 pie
PREP: 20 minutes
CHILL: 5 hours
BAKE: 1 hour 5 minutes

Stephen's Piecrust (see recipe below)
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
4 large eggs
1/2 cup salted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice

1. Form Stephen's Piecrust dough into a ball, and flatten with palm of hand. Roll between 2 sheets of wax paper to a 12- to 13-inch circle. Carefully transfer to a 9-inch deep-dish pieplate, pressing to fit into bottom and up sides. Flute edges, if desired. Chill at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat oven to 325°. Line piecrust with foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake at 325° for 15 minutes, remove weights and foil, and bake 10 minutes more or until just set. Remove from oven, and set aside.

3. Reduce oven temperature to 300°. Whisk together sugar and flour in a large bowl. Whisk in eggs gradually, and slowly add butter. Whisk in buttermilk and next 3 ingredients.

4. Pour filling into crust. Bake at 300° for 40 to 45 minutes or until just set (center will jiggle). Remove to cooling rack. Chill pie until cold, at least 4 hours or overnight.

Stephen's Piecrust

Pecans and whipped egg whites create a rich meringue inside...Let me know if you try this recipe how you like it! And thank you to Jeannie for the recipe.
