Lemon Chess Pie for Thanksgiving - Vintage Dessert Recipe
Whatcha makin? Jus' pie... or rather Chess Pie as it is known now. This is an OLD recipe that's been around since the 1700's and it has its roots in the American South. This recipe came from an elderly friend of mine who was nice enough to give me her grandmothers recipe! She said she thought this version was from the turn of the century/1920's... But who know
This pie is a custard pie, this one in particular is the lemon version - but what
differentiates it into a chess pie is the addition of corn meal which gives it
a slightly more cornbread-esque taste... but more of an aftertaste.
This is a great alternative if you are over the lemon meringue pie for Thanksgiving and need something fresh and lemony but different.
Here's the recipe!
8 inch pie crust
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cornmeal
4 beaten eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup melted butter
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Mix dry ingredients. Beat eggs and mix in. Mix in the rest of the ingredients until smooth, don't overmix.
Bake 40 min at 350. Let cool completely before serving.

Mama Sue makes LEMON CHESS PIE | Southern recipes | How to make old fashioned desserts
I had a message from a follower asking if I had a recipe for a chess pie. I started looking because I knew that I had made them years ago and loved them. I really forgot just how easy they are to make. There are several good recipes out there but I think the ingredient that makes it so good is the cornmeal. I know it seems strange to be putting cornmeal in a lemon pie but it's just delicious. I hope you try it and let me know what you think.
Here is a link to the recipe:

Best Chocolate Chess Pie Recipe:
Brazilian Carrot Cake:
Chocolate Flan (Brigadeirao):
Brazilian Spice Cake (Pão de mel):
Brigadeiros:
Ingredients:
1 9-inch pie shell, at room temp
1 tbsp cornmeal
1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
1 2/3 cups sugar 330 g
½ tsp salt optional
6 tbsp unsalted butter melted
¾ cups lemon juice freshly squeezed (you’ll need about 3 lemons). If you prefer yours less tangy, use ½ cup lemon juice and ¼ cup water.
5 large eggs at room temperature
Instructions:
1.Heat the oven to 400° F (205° C).
2.Using a fork, prick the bottom and sides of the pie crust. Bake for about 10-11 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let it cool before adding the filling.
3.Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Whisk together cornmeal, cornstarch, sugar, and salt until you see no more lumps. Then whisk in the melted butter, lemon juice, and eggs for about 2 minutes or until homogeneous and bubbly.
4.Make sure to whisk the eggs well because you don’t want to taste the eggs in the baked pie.
5.Pour the filling into the cool pie crust and decrease the oven temperature to 375° F (190° C).
6.Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden brown.
7.If the pie crust appears to be browning too much, place a foil ring around the edge of the pie crust.
8.Let the pie cool completely on a rack. Chill in the fridge for a few hours before slicing. This will allow the filling to set well.
