Lemon Chess Pie

This is the easiest pie recipe I have ever made.

What you need

  1. 1 recipe single crust pie pastry
  2. 2 cups sugar
  3. 2 tbl cornmeal
  4. 1 tbl flour
  5. 4 eggs
  6. 1/4 cup melted butter
  7. 1/4 cup milk
  8. 1/4 cup lemon juice
  9. Zest from 2 lemons

How to make it

  1. Preheat oven to 375º
  2. Combine sugar, cornmeal and flour
  3. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well
  4. Add butter, milk, lemon jiuce and lemon zest and combine well
  5. Pour into unbaked pie crust - cover crust edges with foil
  6. Remove foil for the last 15-20 minutes to brown
  7. Bake for a total of 45 minutes, until knife inserted in center comes out clean

I use Pillsbury Pie Crusts that I purchase in the refrigerator section, rather than make the pastry from scratch.
