Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup(s) butter softened
  • 2 tablespoon(s) cornmeal
  • 1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
  • 2 tablespoon(s) evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla *see note*
  • 1 - unbaked pie shell *see note*

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Note: I love a flaky crust so have found this to help, while baking keep a beaten egg white handy. Brush the unbaked pie shell bottom and sides with the beaten egg white.
  • Bake that for 7-minutes. Let it cool then proceed on.
  • Beat eggs and butter until light and lemon colored.
  • Sprinkle in the remaining dry ingredients.
  • Then add the evaporated milk and vanilla.
  • Pour this into the pie shell.
  • Bake for 55-65 minutes until set.
  • NOTE: You can make this a lemon chess pie by adding 1/4 cup lemon juice and the zest from one lemon.
