1/2 cup melted butter
Zest of a lemon (about 2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

Recipe
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Beat the eggs lightly. Beat in the sugar, salt, buttermilk, cornmeal and melted butter and mix until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice and nutmeg.
Pour into the warm, partially baked pie shell and bake until the custard is just set, about 30 to 35 minutes. The center will still be jiggly. The pie will continue to cook after it has been removed from the oven.
Cool to room temperature before serving.
Present the pie with sauce and berries on one side, whipped cream stuck with pastry stars on the other, a shower of confectioners' sugar and mint sprig.
