There are probably as many chess pie recipes as there are people who bake chess pies. I studied many recipes before formulating this version, and I really do think it's the best. Look at that texture!
Rich butter and nuanced sweetness from brown sugar lend their superpowers. The real star is the fine cornmeal. It helps make the pie beautifully sliceable and adds subtle texture.
All you need is a bowl and a whisk. Whisk butter into the dry ingredients, followed by a good whisking of the buttermilk mixture and finally, the eggs.
You may need to tent your pie with foil during the last 20 minutes or so of baking. My foil pulled off some of the top of the pie, so remove the foil carefully!
