Lemon Chess Pie is an old-fashioned favorite that’s perfect for summer potlucks. I think it is best served chilled and it has plenty of tart lemon flavor balanced by a good amount of sugar.
Ingredients :
- ▢2 cups sugar
- ▢1 tablespoons flour
- ▢1 tablespoon cornmeal
- ▢4 eggs, lightly beaten
- ▢1/4 cup melted butter
- ▢1/4 cup milk
- ▢grated lemon zest from 1 lemon
- ▢1/4 cup lemon juice
- ▢1/4 teaspoon salt
- ▢1 9-inch pie shell (uncooked)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk together sugar, flour, and cornmeal in a large bowl.
- Add eggs, melted butter, milk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and salt and whisk well.
- Pour into pie shell.
- Bake for 15 minutes.
- Reduce oven temperature to 300 degrees and bake for another 40 to 45 minutes.
- Pie will still be fairly jiggly but will firm up as it cools.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.
