Mama's Chess Pie
I've written before, that, although my Mama wasn't a terrific cook, and there were few dishes she did exceptionally well,
she did have her rare
moments of genius.
This was one of those
dishes that Mama was far surpassed her usual in! And one which she seldom made,
leaving it for holidays or special occasions.
As for me….I try to
make it often. Why? Because it’s cheap. And easy. Two things that make any
dessert desirable. But more importantly…it’s absolutely delicious!!!
INGREDIENTS
½ cup butter
2 cups sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
extract
4 eggs
1 tablespoon cornmeal
¼ cup evaporated milk
1 tablespoon white
vinegar
9-inch pie shell
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220
degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, mix the butter, sugar
and vanilla together. Mix in the eggs, then stir in the cornmeal, evaporated
milk and vinegar until smooth.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated
oven, then reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C) for 40 minutes. Let
cool. Cut and top servings with whipped cream.
