This was my favorite pie growing up. My grandmother made it – anytime I asked. And I wonder why I’m so fluffy. Ha! When I grew up and had kids, I made it for them. Turns out it became their favorite pie, too. It’s still a family favorite. And so easy!
A vintage chess pie recipe from Just Vintage.
You’ll need an unbaked pie shell. I use the store bought kind. They’re better than any I can make.
Chess Pie
1-1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (one stick) butter
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon cornmeal
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Mix all ingredients. Beat slightly (that’s important). It will have a slightly lumpy texture. Pour into the unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes until inserted toothpick comes out clean. I usually bake it a bit longer than 45 minutes.
What could be easier than that? And yes, the crust should crack. It rises as it’s cooking, then falls when it’s cooling.
Chess pie was the go-to pie my aunt always made for family get-togethers. Now that I live in the Midwest, I never hear of anyone eating chess pie. Maybe it’s a Southern thing.
That seems like a lovely recipe!!!
congratulations!!
