Chess pie
Pies
There's little as quintessentially Southern as chess pie. Every Southern cook has a recipe for it; some have buttermilk, some have cornmeal, some have vinegar. Regardless, and somewhat amazingly, it always turns out a creamy, rich, custardy pie that, when I was a child, was my absolute favorite. This is Mama's recipe, another one of those on the 3 x 5 index card, dogeared and grease stained. One taste of this sends me back to the church "dinners on the ground" of my childhood.
