Our Family Buttermilk Chess Pie

3 eggs
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp.  vanilla (always use real)
1/4 lb. melted butter
1 unbaked pie shell

1. Beat eggs until very thick (this is where it will all go wrong if you don't beat it long enough. It takes a LONG time.)
2. Sift together sugar and flour.
3. Combine vanilla, buttermilk and melted butter; add to eggs, sugar and flour.
4. Pour into pie shell. 
5. Back in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.

It should not be sloshy when you take it out.
If you don't beat the eggs long enough it will be sloshy and not good.
This is the recipe that our family has been using successfully for many years now. 
Should be served with homemade whip cream.

Whip Cream


1 pint of real whipping cream (not ultra pasteurized)
1-2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup sugar (about do it to taste)

Whip it with a hand mixer until thick and makes peaks. Don't over beat or it will turn to butter.
