Add 1 cup of whole buttermilk to a large bowl.

Melt 1/2 cup of butter and add it to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract to the bowl.

Crack 4 large eggs into the bowl, then add 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.

Whisk these ingredients together for about 15 seconds until well combined.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and whisk them together.

Gradually add the sugar and flour mixture to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, whisking until blended for another 15 seconds.

Prepare a 9-inch no-bake pie shell by placing it on a baking sheet and pricking the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Pour the buttermilk mixture into the prepared pie shell.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the pie on the middle rack for 1 hour.

Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; if it comes out clean, the pie is done. If not, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Let the pie cool for 1-2 hours before slicing.

Use a serrated knife to cut the pie into desired portions.
