Our other contribution to this month's Supper Club dinner was dessert. I had suggested making a Mississippi mud pie, but Dino wanted to find something that we had never had before. He tracked down this recipe and made the entire thing by himself this morning. It turned out to be a really superb pie! It was kind of like a lemon chess pie - nice and rich and custard-y. It was a big hit!

I've always wanted to make a buttermilk pie just to see what it was all about! Definitely need to try this. Such a fun Supper Club contribution!

When do you add the flour?

It's in step 3. I double checked the recipe since Dino made this one and I didn't actually go through the preparation. It's super tasty!!
