Lemon Chess Pie

By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 cups sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
• 1 (9-inch) frozen ready-to-bake deep-dish pie shell, thawed

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, with an electric beater on medium speed, beat all ingredients except pie shell for 1 to 2 minutes, or until well mixed.

Pour into pie shell and bake 45 to 50 minutes, or until a crust forms over the top and turns golden. Serve warm, or let cool, cover, and chill until ready to serve.

Notes:
The pie will be a little loose when it comes out of the oven, so we recommend that you allow it to cool, then chill it for about 4 hours to firm up for best results.
