Personal Notes:
* If using a frozen piecrust, it isn't necessary to the the crust prior to filling.

* This was our first attempt at duplicating a prize-winning pie we ate in Rudioso. We used 6 Tablespoons butter and low-fat buttermilk since we didn't have full fat. Also used not quite 1/4 cup lemon juice (a scant 1/4 cup).

* Old-Fashioned Lemon Buttermilk Pie and Southern Buttermilk Pie are other recipes we found but have not tried as of this printing.
