This is just an old-fashioned chess pie. Best of all, you can't taste the buttermilk and it's so rich. Time for cooling pie is not included.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Yum! This recipe bakes up the perfect deep dish chess pie. There's a sweet caramelized flavor with a light tanginess from the buttermilk. It browns perfectly when baking which makes for a lovely presentation. If you're looking for a delicious traditional Southern chess pie, give this one a try. Beautiful enough for a holiday dessert table, but easy enough to prepare just because it's Wednesday.
