Ingredients

For the pie

  • Pastry for one 9-inch pie crust
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 pints strawberries hulled and halved

For the glaze

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan. Roll dough for crust into a 12-inch circle. Press into prepared pan and crimp edges as desired.
  • In a medium bowl, beat eggs with a whisk or electric mixer until frothy. Add butter, sugar, flour and salt and beat until smooth.
  • Stir in buttermilk, vanilla and lemon juice. Pour mixture into crust. Bake for about 60 minutes, or until center if firm and top of pie is golden. Cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together ingredients for glaze in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, whisking constantly, until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
