Lemon Chess Pie

By RoketJSquerl

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9" deep dish pie shell
• 1 stick butter, melted (1/2 cup)
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (you will need about 2 fresh lemons)
• 2 Tbs. lemon zest
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 Tbs. flour
• 2 Tbs. cornmeal
• 1 tsp. white vinegar
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/4 cup half and half

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Cream together butter and sugar. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Place the unbaked pie shell on a cookie sheet. Pour the mixture in the shell and carefully place in the oven on the center rack.

Bake for 45-50 minutes. The top will brown, but do not overbrown it. The thin brown crust on top is typical for a Chess Pie. Allow to cool before slicing!
