MAMA'S CHESS PIE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Note: I love a flaky crust so have found this to help, while baking keep a beaten egg white handy. Brush the unbaked pie shell bottom and sides with the beaten egg white.
• 2. Bake that for 7-minutes. Let it cool then proceed on.
• 3. Beat eggs and butter until light and lemon colored.
• 4. Sprinkle in the remaining dry ingredients.
• 5. Then add the evaporated milk and vanilla.
• 6. Pour this into the pie shell.
• 7. Bake for 55-65 minutes until set.
• 8. NOTE: You can make this a lemon chess pie by adding 1/4 cup lemon juice and the zest from one lemon.

CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll the piecrust into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate (no more than 1 ¼" deep). Tuck the edges under and crimp as desired. Freeze for 20 minutes. Prick the bottom of the crust 8-10 times, all over, with a fork.
• Line the frozen piecrust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes just until the edges of the crust are dry. Carefully remove the paper with weights. Return to the oven for 3-5 minutes until the bottom of the crust is dry and the edges just start to turn light brown. Let cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
• Place the melted butter and sugar in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Whisk in the eggs, then the cornmeal and flour. Add the milk, lemon juice, vanilla extract and pinch of salt and mix to combine.
• Carefully pour the filling into the crust. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the edges and center of pie are set completely. (Tent the pie with foil towards the end if either the crust or surface of the pie look darker than golden brown). Let the pie cool completely, about 2 hours. Garnish with a sprinkle of powdered sugar, if desired.

OLD FASHIONED CHESS PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400.
• Line a 9 inch pie plate with crust and crimp the edges. (Or if using the frozen pie crust that is already in a pie pan - just thaw).
• In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, eggs, vanilla and almond - mix well using a whisk.
• Melt the butter in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl and allow to cool.
• If adding the butter while still hot - then temper the egg mix by pouring a small amount of the butter into the egg mix while whisking. Whisk for a minute and then add more. Whisk again and keep repeating until fully incorporated.
• Place the pie on the middle rack in the oven at 400 and bake for 10 minutes then lower the heat to 350 and bake for another 30 - 35 minutes.
• The pie is done when golden brown on top and when the pie wiggles only a little when you bump it from the side of the pan.
• Place the pie on a cooling rack and allow it to completely cool before serving.
