Originating in the Southern United States, Buttermilk Chess Pie is a classic dessert that has been enjoyed for generations. The pie is made by mixing together sugar, flour, eggs, buttermilk, and butter, then pouring the mixture into an unbaked pie crust and baking until set.

Buttermilk Chess Pie is a perfect dessert for any occasion, and it is especially popular during the holidays.

5.	Pour the mixture into an unbaked pie crust.
6.	Bake the pie for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling is set.
