Here are a couple of chess pie recipes. One made with cornmeal and one without.
Chess - Made without cornmeal
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 2 cups sugar
- 1 heaping tbsp. flour
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- dash salt
Melt butter over slow heat. Add sugar and flour, mixing well. Add well beaten eggs and milk. Mix well over low flame or simmer. Pour into an unbaked pie shell and top with your choice of nutmeg, pecans, coconut or flavor with lemon or vanilla or you can let it be plain (good either way). Bake in oven 10 minutes at 425 degrees. Then reduce oven to 325 degrees and bake 45 minutes to 1 hour or until well browned.
