Chess Pie

About the Recipe:  Chess pies are popular in the South. They have a simple filling of eggs, sugar, butter, and a small amount of flour or cornmeal. Kate flavors this pie with vanilla and almonds but lemon juice or even chocolate can be added to the basic recipe. It’s a very sweet pie with a custard-like texture.

Cook’s Note:  I used coconut milk and ½ teaspoon almond extract in the filling.  For the dough, I used the One-Cup Out Dough Recipe.

Notes If you are gluten free, use a gluten free dough, and substitute gluten free flour mix for all-purpose flour in the filling.

Cool the Pie: Set the pie on a cooling rack for two hours.  It will continue to set up.
