I just ate a warm piece of this pie less than 5 minutes ago. Yummy! I read the previous reviews and followed the most common suggestion- less sugar. I used 1 1/2 cups instead of two, and I added a tablespoon of white vinegar because it's called for in my other recipes. My baking time was 55 minutes. I think I could've gotten away with 50, but the other suggestions mentioned much longer cooking times. It just takes a little while to set. I covered the crust edge and removed it at 45 minutes. Next time, I'll gently lay a loose piece of foil over the whole pie to prevent over-browning. Whisk it well, and strain if you're afraid of getting those tiny little egg pieces. Great flavor and texture!

This was the absolutely delicious! I made it for Father's Day and it was a huge hit. It is very rich so I was able to get 12 servings out of a deep dish pie. I will definitely make again!!

Made too many changes to give this 5*. Only had three eggs, so increased the buttermilk to 1 cup. Added just 1-1/4 cups sugar and it was sweet enough for us, and also cut the amount of butter in half. Also cooked it a bit longer. Great texture, great flavor,... delicious!!

We really loved this pie. My mom & grandma used to make chess pie & it was made with brown sugar. I think I prefer this one. Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe is like money! i have tried it twice! The first time it was a tad to sweet. After reading the reviews, I made some changes. I subbed 1 1/2 cups Brown Sugar, 4 eggs, 1 Tble Cornmeal, 2 teas vanilla, 1 teas cinnamon, 1/4 teas nutmeg. I baked crust for 7 minutes, then added mixture and baked for 1 hour and 30 minutes. WOW! This is a keeper and so so simple! Thanks for posting!

i was disappointed with this recipe, especially after all the great reviews. it was, as others said, pretty "eggy". i even tried 4 eggs instead of 5. the sugar was a bit much. probably will try a different recipe next time.

I make this every year for Thanksgiving for my family, in memory of my grandmother, and it is always a HUGE hit! In fact, I got requests for the pie for Christmas presents! My only modification: Add 1 tsp of cinnamon to the mix before pouring it into the pie shells! Mmmmm!

Chess pie is my favorite of all and I always ask my aunt to make it for me but since I didn't go home this year I thought I'd try to make it myself. This is a delicious recipe! For those who thought this was to sweet, that's the way chess pie is supposed to be. It's a very sweet, rich pie.

This recipe has become one of my families favorites! It is quick to make with ingredients we normally have around the house. I also reduced the sugar to 1 1/2 cups and I doubled the amount of vanilla called for. I am going to try to modify the recipe next time I make it to make a chocolate chess pie. Thanks for the recipe!

The perfect Chess Pie. I got so many compliments, even from someone who has never cared for Chess Pie before. I am so thrilled that I have now replaced a recipe that was lost to our family when my great grandmother passed away. Thanks for posting this one!
