I love both buttermilk pie and chess pie, but I've always wondered what makes them different. Is it just the buttermilk, or are there other key ingredients that set them apart? Any pie enthusiasts here who can break it down for me?
Buttermilk pie has a tangy twist from the buttermilk, while chess pie is sweeter and often has a touch of cornmeal. Both are delicious, but totally different vibes!
When it comes to texture, buttermilk pie is smooth and creamy, akin to a custard pie. Meanwhile, a chess pie is slightly denser and has a more distinct texture from the cornmeal.
