This recipe is older than I am...and I was born in 1919! My mother and grandmother made this pie with buttermilk and eggs from our farm and set it on the tables at church meetings and social gatherings. I did the same and now our children make it, too! —Kate Mathews, Shreveport, Louisiana

Ingredients

CRUST:
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup cold whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 large eggs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup lemon juice
Whipped cream and fresh berries, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually stir in milk and egg. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge.
For filling, in a large bowl, cream butter and sugar; beat in flour. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into crust.
Bake until center is set, 45-50 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack. Serve or refrigerate within 2 hours. If desired, top servings with whipped cream and fresh berries.
