Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Prepare a cookie sheet in the oven to get hot for the pie crust.

In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/4 cup all-purpose flour.

Add melted unsalted butter to the sugar and flour mixture.

Next, add 1 cup of buttermilk.

Beat 3 large eggs in a separate bowl and then add them to the mixture.

Add 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of pure lemon extract (or fresh lemon juice).

Whisk all the ingredients together until well combined.

Pour the mixture into a deep dish pie crust, ensuring it doesn't overflow.

Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top and swirl it with a knife for design.

Place the pie in the oven on the hot cookie sheet and bake at 410°F for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes until the center is slightly jiggly.

Let the pie cool at room temperature for about 1 hour and 10 minutes before cutting.
