My 93 year old mom has asked for a memory from her past this year in the form of:
Chess Pie
Yield: 1 9-inch pie
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon cornmeal
3 eggs, beaten slightly
1/4 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 9-inch unbaked deep dish pie crust
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine sugar and cornmeal. Add beaten eggs and milk, and mix well. Stir in vinegar and vanilla. Mix until well blended.
Pour into the pie crust and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Turn oven temperature down to 325 and bake for additional 40 to 45 minutes or until center of pie is set. Turn oven off and let the pie cool in the oven.
One of my favorites. All of my relatives in Alabama made this constantly. I grew up on Chess pie and I still love it.
