Chess Pie

This was my favorite pie growing up. My grandmother made it. Anytime I asked. And I wonder why I’m so fluffy. When I grew up and had kids, I made it for them. Turns out it became their favorite pie, too. It’s still a family favorite. And so easy!

You’ll need an unbaked pie shell. I use the store bought kind.

1-1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup (one stick) butter
3 eggs
1 Tablespoon cornmeal
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Mix all ingredients. Beat slightly (that’s important). It will have a slightly lumpy texture. Pour into the unbaked pie shell and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes.
