52 pies 52 weeks (4/52): Lemon Chess Pie

Until a few years ago, I had never made a chess pie, but this has become a staple here at the HennHouse. Tim is game to try anything with corn meal in it, and even though this pie only has one tsp, he was SURE it would be fabulous. And it is. This is another recipe from "Farm Journal's Best Ever Pies." It is the pie that Tim asks for at least once a week. And it is the pie that he gets at least once a month.

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp corn meal
1 tsp flour
1/8 tsp salt
Unbaked pie shell

Using an electric mixer on high speed, mix eggs until well blended. Turn mixer down to medium and gradually add sugar. Add lemon juice, butter, corn meal, flour, and salt. Pour into pie shell. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes.
