Pie!

I tried this recipe out yesterday. I love chess pie, but I've never made it.

Classic Chess Pie

from Southern Living Comfort Foods

½ package refrigerated pie crusts
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon all purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup butter, melted
¼ cup milk
1 tablespoon white vinegar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 425°. Fit piecrust into a 9-inch pieplate. Fold edges under and crimp.

Line crust with aluminum foil, and fill with pie weights or dried beans.

Bake at 425° for four to five minutes. Remove weights and foil, and bake for two more minutes until golden. Cool.

Reduce oven temperature to 350°. Stir together sugar and next seven ingredients until blended. Add eggs, stirring well. Pour filling into pre baked crust.

Bake at 350° for 50 or 55 minutes, shielding edges with foil after ten minutes to avoid excessive browning. Cool completely. Serves 8.

I think the cornmeal is what makes this pie so amazing. It rises to the top of the filling to make a sweet crust.



My dad couldn't wait to try it!



Inside the pie- a nice, smooth, golden custard.
