Chess Pie

Chess Pie

EverydayCooked

Chess pie is a traditional Southern American dessert characterized by its simple custard-like filling made from eggs, butter, sugar, and cornmeal. The addition of cornmeal creates its signature slightly grainy texture and helps form a distinctive golden-brown, slightly caramelized top crust. This rich, sweet pie typically features variations with vanilla, lemon, or buttermilk, and belongs to the family of 'desperation pies' historically made from readily available pantry ingredients.
