Description
Lemon Chess Pie is a popular, southern dessert. Lemony and sweet, but not too heavy.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Flour
- 1 Tablespoon Corn Meal
- 4 whole Eggs, Lightly Beaten
- ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
- ¼ cups Butter, Melted
- ¼ cups Whole Milk
- Zest Of 2 Lemons
- 1 whole Ready Made Pie Shell Or Homemade Crust (unbaked)
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Thoroughly mix the first three dry ingredients together.
3. Add in the rest of the ingredients and beat until smooth.
4. Pour into uncooked pastry shell.
5. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until top is golden brown and filling has puffed up all over.
Tips: The rind is good, but not totally necessary. You can leave it out if you just want to use bottled lemon juice. The two lemons will equal about 1/4 cup of juice.
Use a deep dish pie shell for this recipe.

This turned out really well as my first attempt at making a chess pie! Very rich, but delicious!

I made this for my first chess pie ever, and it was DELISH! I only had one lemon to juice and zest, but it must have been a good one because the flavor was nice and strong! 2 lemons might have been too much. Very easy recipe and nice results. Thanks!

Absolutely delicious! My 11 year old makes the pies for Thanksgiving and tried your lemon chess this year, it came out perfectly, light and tangy and exactly like a good lemon chess pie should be. Thank you!

Chess Pie was a staple dessert on holidays when we were growing up. My mother was from Kentucky and from the best of my knowledge, it was a staple in her younger years, as well.
YUMMY!
