Steps:

• Add 1 cup butter to lemon sugar. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula, until mixture is light and very fluffy, about 4 minutes longer.

• Bake cake until golden brown and beginning to pull away from sides of pan, 60-70 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; remove pan and let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
• Combine preserves and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze is reduced to 1/2 cup, 6-8 minutes. Strain glaze into a small pitcher or bowl; discard solids in strainer. Pour glaze over cooled cake and let sit for at least 10 minutes.

LEMON BUTTERMILK PIE

Steps:

• Roll out the dough 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch (1 quart) glass pie plate. Crimp the edge decoratively and chill the shell for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a bowl whisk together the butter, the sugar, the buttermilk, the egg yolks, the flour, the vanilla, the zest, the salt, and the nutmeg and pour the filling into the shell. Bake the pie in the lower third of the oven for 20 minutes, reduce the temperature to 325°F., and bake the pie for 20 to 25 minutes more, or until the filling is set and golden. Let the pie cool on a rack and serve it at room temperature or chilled.
• Make the Pâte Brisée:
• In a large bowl blend the flour, the butter, the vegetable shortening, and the salt until the mixture resembles meal. Add the 2 tablespoons ice water, toss the mixture until the water is incorporated, adding the additional ice water if necessary to form a dough, and form the dough into a ball. Dust the dough with flour and chill it, wrapped in wax paper, for 1 hour.

BUTTERMILK FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Place the first five (dry) ingredients in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• In a second bowl, whisk together the next four (wet) ingredients.
• Pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour mixture and whisk together just until combined to make a thick batter. (Do not overmix to get a more tender flapjack.).
• Heat an 8" nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add 1 tbsp butter and heat until the butter's foam subsides.
• Ladle about 1/2 cup of batter into the skillet.
• Cook the flapjack until little bubbles form on the top of the surface and the bottom is golden brown. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown (about 5 minutes total cook time for each flapjack).
• Transfer to a large platter and keep warm.
• Repeat the process with an additional tbsp butter in the pan until 8 flapjacks have been made. To save time, you can have two skillets going at the same time.
• Serve hot with additional butter and maple syrup. A dusting of confectioners sugar is a nice touch, too.
