chess pie
this is a southern staple in the dessert world. i discovered it when trying to find a use for all the buttermilk i had on hand from another recipe. it originated from a recipe posted online, but made better by yours truly. super quick to make and common ingredients.
mix butter and sugar until creamy.
add flour, eggs, buttermilk, cinnamon and vanilla. mix until smooth and pour into pie crust.
bake for 70min. check at 40min and wrap crust with foil to prevent burning.
serve with berries and whipped cream.
*if you don't have buttermilk on hand: add 1 tbsp of vinegar to a 1C measuring cup. fill with milk and let sit approx 5min until starts to clump. ta-da!
