- 1 9 inch pie crust, unbaked
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 5 eggs
- ⅔ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Add the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, and flour to a large bowl and whisk together.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk, melted butter and vanilla.
Pour the wet mix into the dry ingredient bowl and whisk to form a smooth, liquid filling.
Pour the chess pie filling into the unbaked pie crust.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes. The custard should be set in the center of the pie and jiggle slightly when you touch it. The top of the pie will no longer look wet but have a matte, golden brown color.
Let the pie cool completely before slicing and serving.
