For The Crust

In a 9inch pie plate, pour 6 tablespoons melted butter.

Mix the Graham Cracker Crumbs, sugar and salt, then add it to the melted butter in the pie plate.

Mix until the crumbs are completely covered, then press them down into the pie plate to form the crust.

Take the bottom of a cup or glass and press the bottom of the crust to make it solid.

Bake the crust at 325 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.

Let the crust cool before the filling is added.

For The Filling

Beat the eggs yolks for about 4 minutes until they are pale yellow.

Gradually beat in the sweetened condensed milk and the buttermilk.

Add the lemon juice and beat until thoroughly mixed.

Pour the filling into the cooled crust and bake at 325 degrees for 20 minutes.

Let the pie cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Garnish with Whipped Cream and Fresh Fruit.
