- 1-½ Cups Granulated Sugar
- 1-½ Tablespoons All Purpose Flour
- 3 Tablespoons Cornmeal
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 6 Large Eggs
- ½ Cup Whole Milk
- 1-½ Cups Salted Butter melted
- 1-½ Tablespoons Lemon Juice
- 1-½ teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Shape Pie Crust on 9" Round Pie Dish, crimping the edges. Then place in freezer for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Mix the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and set aside.
- Add the eggs to another medium mixing bowl and beat until mixed.
- Add the milk, melted butter, lemon juice, and vanilla. Mix well.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix to combine.
- Pour the pie filling into the pie crust and place into the oven.
- Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes then turn down the oven to 350°F. Allow to bake another 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting into the chess pie. It will still have a little jiggle when you take it out, but the pie will continue to set up as it cools.
- Sprinkle with powdered sugar for an optional pop of color.
Notes
Old fashioned chess pie can be served at room temperature, or refrigerated. A little squirt of cream is sometimes desired.
